Democrats are looking at the possibility of forming a bipartisan Senate majority after Tuesday's election results.

In the 40-seat House of Representatives, there has been a bipartisan majority coalition for the past four years. Cathy Tilton, the House minority leader, has been “encouraged” by the primary election results, which she says lean toward the GOP forming a slim majority in its own right with 22 or 23 legislators.

Kelly Merrick for joining the bipartisan majority coalition in the House of Representatives. “This is indicative of where Alaskans really are,” Begich argued about the primary results. This is his eighth election, but he’s never outperformed the leading Republican at a primary election and has always had to come from behind in November. All but one legislative contest had fewer than five candidates, erasing some of the drama of a traditional primary.
