NPR reported that the competitive map for control of the U.S. Senate has "expanded considerably" in the final days before Election Day. NPR's article, written by Domenico Montanaro, presents a ranking of those competitive races from most likely to flip to least likely. The summary available for this account does not name the individual races or give their order, so those specifics appear only in the full NPR article, titled Here are the Senate races to watch ahead of Election Day.

CBS News reported separately that Daniel J. Sullivan, the independent Alaska Senate candidate, left his hometown of Petersburg earlier this week, and that multiple sources confirmed the move to the network. The CBS News report, Daniel J. Sullivan left his Alaska hometown before Senate election, says Sullivan's name is "almost identical" to that of the Republican incumbent in the race. The summary does not identify the incumbent by name or give a reason for the move.

The two reports cover different subjects. NPR's summary concerns the national Senate map and does not mention Alaska or Sullivan, while CBS News's summary concerns a single candidate in Alaska and does not address the national ranking. Neither summary contradicts the other.

Neither summary includes a response from Sullivan, from the incumbent, or from the campaign of either candidate, and neither says what effect the move could have on the Alaska contest. Each outlet's full article may contain further reporting that is not reflected in these summaries.
