now the apparent winner in alaska after beating mark begich. the man likely to lead the 114th. mitch mcconnell is holding the photo-op for new senators. it's going to happen moments from now. kasie hunt live on capitol hill this morning. what do we expect to come out of the hunt besides coffee and a photo-op? >> i think the new republicans are just coming up to sort of get a sense of what life up here is going to be like. start to talk about their priorities. maybe what committee assignments they want. the new members are up here. the republicans are meeting with mcconnell. they'll have a lunch. their day is organized by the secretary of the senate who has a whole day long program for all of them. i bumped into a couple of them on my way in here today. cory gardener from colorado, david perdue from georgia. the atmosphere is pretty sell baa story. mcconnell's staff is excited. everyone is excited to be here. they brought their families. i think at this point it's really we're in the orientation phase and not necessarily into

alaskan democratic senator mark begich is running against republican challenger dan sullivan. here is a look at some recent campaign ads. >> i'm megan sullivan. you've seen a lot of ads attacking my family, so i wanted you to know the facts. alaska has been my family's home for generations. my dad is teaching my sisters and me to handle a rifle, fish, and be strong, independent, honest women. we've learned a lot about sacrifice from his service in afghanistan and were proud of his work to protect alaskan women from domestic violence. dad will be a great senator for alaska. quicktime dan sullivan, and i approve this message. >> and we were young, our father look to bring fear to the. and things seem impossible, i

the race is the senate race between mark begich and dan sullivan. this appears to be the republican sullivan's race to lose. he is up in most of the polls. turnout shows it should be favorable to his positions and we expect that this race will be decided. there will not be a runoff. the question is when. the polls close here in alaska at 8:00 local time which is midnight back on the east coast. they won't be counting the ballots until 1:00 a.m. it will be a long day of voting and long night of waiting while the nation waits to see if this is one of those pivotal senate races. the issue here is the governor race. the incumbent governor is in trouble. he is facing the challenge from the independent, but republican leaning challenger. also we have two ballot measures. one which would raise the minimum wage up $2 over the next two years. that looks like it is headed for passage and tighter race over whether or not alaska should allow recreational use of marijuana. all that decided today. a very long, cold, but clear day in most of alaska. back to you. >

mark begich just sent us a note saying they're waiting on the rural vote. t to count 70 outstanding villages who haven't come in. they're telling me it's a mathematical possibility for begich to win but here we are. we're going to count it to the last drop, i guess to know who the senator is here in alaska. 97% of the vote in, it looks really good for the republicans, but we wait. >> it looks good for the republicans, but you wait. drew griffin, thank you. >>> to louisiana where the race won't be known for weeks, democrat mary landrieu or bill cassidy got the 50% of the vote needed to win outright. that race will be decided in a two-candidate runoff election. cnn's suzanne malveaux is live in new orleans. we knew there would probably have to be a runoff, we thought maybe it would hold the balance of the senate in question. but, no, it's very clear that republicans have the senate, isn't it? >> reporter: it's very clear. but this is one of those races that's going to take 32 days, christine, to actually sort it all out. so we're waiting as well. i had a chanc

mark begich is so far refusing to concede that race. with this ap call now signs are pointing towards mark begich not coming back to the senate. that leaves the only outstanding senate seat from this year's elections, the seat that is held by democratic senator mary landrieu in louisiana. she's in a runoff that will happen december 6. she had won a couple of senate runoffs in louisiana in the past, but the odds are thought to be against her in this one, so much so that the democratic senate campaign committee pulled all of their ad support for her that they were planning for the runoff. but today in washington, the first day of the lame duck session, senator landrieu took to the floor of the senate apparently with support from her democratic colleagues in the senate to talk about what she wants to try to do to try to save her senate seat. she announced today that she wants a vote immediately to approve the keystone xl oil pipeline. i say immediately, i mean immediately. she literally wants the vote to happen tomorrow. will that save mar

a very tight race between democrat mark begich and dan sullivan.rawing so much money from both sides, it is likely to break records for outside spending. analysis by the brennan center, pegged spending by groups at $39 million so far. that's practically $1 million for every voter in the state of alaska. i'm making that up. the state has a small population. this makes it the sixth most expensive senate campaign in history for outsider spending. high stakes have drawn big names. mitt romney made his pitch on monday. >> this state matters. it makes a big deal for people here in alaska and all over the country because of the impact of the senate race. >> drew griffin is in anchorage with more on this race. >> reporter: john and christine, good morning from a cold but clear anchorage, alaska. the big race here is the u.s. senate race. the senate race between the democratic incumbent mark begich and his republican challenger dan sullivan. right now, this appears to be the republican sullivan's race to lose. he is up in most of the polls. turnout shows it

over mark begich, 54 to 40%.u may ask why this race hasn't been called. the politicians say here voting counting is quirky. you don't know where it's coming in from. so they wait and wait and wait before they call this election. but john, you know, given the tone of the evening, what's happened nationally, the fact that alaska really is a red state, and quite frankly, the ground game i've seen here in alaska over the last couple of day, you really got to believe that this is going to be another win and another takeover for the republican party. but we wait. they're still counting the votes. many of the votes have to be counted by hand. in fact, 137 precincts, they actually count by hand, and then phone it in. you hear the party behind me, john? [ cheering ] this is one of the fun things about governing elections in alaska. this is the campaign headquarters for nobody in particular. this is just where they all come to a convention center. and they parade in here one at a time, the candidates from all the way from

i also think mark begich should get reelected and mary landrieu should get reelected. mark pryor should get reelected. these are all solid people. you can work with them. you can come to some agreement. when you lose the ability to have conversation, i said this so much, i came, most of us come from an area where guilt by association. if somebody did something wrong, they see you talking to them they think you must agree with them. this town is guilt by conversation. john and i sometimes can't even have a conversation with both sides thinking we might be conspiring. when you can't have people willing to say we're going to talk about these issues, and that is what is really at stake right now and it's scary. >> i know you penned an op ed the other day what happened if republicans took control of congress. you seem to be addressing this whole issue and focus on competence and getting something done that the public wants to see done. is that really, truly possible, given the way that these campaigns have been run, first of all, vitriolic, a lot of negatives. the fact that

with the vounts countsed so far, republican challenger dan sullivan holds the lead over incumbent mark begichted votes could change the results. it's not clear by how much. and a nail-biter too close to call this morning in virginia, democratic senator mark warner is claiming victory. but republican challenger ed gillespie has not conceded the senate race, which could be headed for a recount. and a run-off will be needed to settle louisiana's senate race, neither democratic incumbent mary landrieu, nor republican challenger bill cassidy got the magic 50% needed to win outright and their run-off will be held next month. >> third-party strength, rob maness got 14% of the vote. >>> history-making night in iowa, joni ernst republican becoming the first female senator in the state. easier-than-expected win over democrat bruce braley following a bruising campaign. in kansas, all the talk about who will orman side with, we don't have to worry about it, cnn projects republican senator pat roberts manages to keep his seat pretty easy. got a lot of hype because of independent greg orman and what might

mark begich did not concede that race. at the time because there were too many ballots that had yet to be counted, yet to come in. and, you know, that's often the refrain of the trailing candidate, right? and with 8,000 votes between them, it kind of looked like mark begech was trailing by enough that he really ought to cut bait. why isn't he conceding? check this out. usually with the ballots after election day means a few thousand absentee ballots. in alaska, which doesn't have all that many people, it's not a few thousand votes they're waiting for. it's 50,000 ballots that they know of so far, might be more. there are 50,000 ballots that have yet to be counted in alaska. and that means nobody knows how these two big important races are going to turn out. and we may not for a while. but they've counted over 200,000 ballots. 50,000 still haven't been tallied. we spoke to the alaska division of elections, and they told us that they're going to continue to count. they're continuing counting until a week from tomorrow, novem

mark begich is in a difficult fight there, facing a republican who wants to take one of the incumbent democratic seats. they think if they can just deal a couple of those that they are in good business. the polls don't close until 1:00 in alaska. days in some of those rural areas. it will be a tight roller coaster ride and we will have it all my long. a person accused of fighting alongside the taliban was in court today. years ago.ve it's the first time a military detainee from the war will stand trial in the united states stop >> the president of ukraine says troops have been deployed to the eastern part of the country where fighting continues. they did not specify how many troops would go. government forces agreed to a cease-fire in said timber but that has been violated several times. >> a program aimed at getting travelers through airport security will expand next year. in the0 people take part tsa pre-check program. the program will expand next year to recruit millions of our disciplines. recheck allows keeping -- recheck allows keeping issues on earring checkpoints. >> president

they all lost last night except mark begich. congressman, it seem to me that the president now has the opportunity to do -- what would you do if you were him? would you do this imfwrag thing on your own? or would you try to get a bill? how hard would you threaten him as an alternative? >> i think what you have to do is realize what you have and what you don't. you have the bail to make trades. to figure out what the other side wants. how you can reach compromise. a consensus. you govern by consensus. whether it was lyndon baines johnson or up the o'neill, we were taught you give or take. if you can't horse trade, you won't get much done. and those who are not horse traders end up being defade. both sides want something. how you do it in a way your pockets don't get picked. and it considering now with mitch mcconnell sxk as was said earlier, it means closing the door. >> so well said. lose the staff and get in each other's confidence and tray to find those zone where one guy really wants something and he can give you something el

the hotly contested senate race pitted democratic incumbent mark begich against challenger dan sullivan. we're watching those vote closely. and a nail-biter who close to call also in virginia. mark warner is claiming victory and ed gillespie has not conceded the senate race which could be headed to a recounts. and the neither democratic incumbent mary landrieu nor republican challenger bill cassidy got that magic 50% needed to written outright. so the runoff will be held next month. >> you've got to look down to rob maness there. a history making night in iowa. cnn projects joni ernst to welcome the first iowa female senator. over bruce braley which was a bruising campaign. in kansas, you don't have to worry were about it, republican senator pat roberts managed to keep his seat. it was one of the most hotly contested race. i guess people do want to know what team you're on when it comes to politics. cory gardner has won the senate race in colorado. cnn projects had will defeat incumbent mark udall. that's a significant pickup for republicans. this is a state that voted for president oba
