Parties Build Recount Funds for 2 Uncalled Senate Seats as Midterm Haul Tops $1.3 Billion

Summary
$1.3 billion in Senate fundraising has not ended the cash scramble, with both parties making last-minute appeals for Alaska and Mississippi, the only two Senate races still uncalled Thursday.
Recount funds are now being set up by the Senate Republicans' campaign arm and Democratic campaigns, signaling both sides expect the final seats could be decided by razor-thin margins.
Those contests are tracking toward photo finishes, with outcomes potentially hinging on just thousands—or even hundreds—of ballots.
The unresolved races will determine the final shape of the Senate map, extending the midterm fight beyond Election Day into possible recount battles.
