Senate: McCaskill Beats Akin (MO), Berkley-Heller (NV) Too Close to Call
J.J. Goldberg November 7, 2012
The strangest Jew v. Jew race in the country pits Nevada Democratic Senate candidate Rep. Shelley Berkley vs. former mentor-turned-nemesis Sheldon Adelson’s money backing GOP incumbent Dean Heller to the hilt – the polls showed Heller leading, but it’s too close to call.
Senate incumbent Claire McCaskill (D) beats Republican challenger Todd “Legitimate Rape” Akin.
Montana Senate incumbent Jon Tester (D) was expected to lose, but the race is too close to call.
Did you know that only 2% of Forward readers donate to support our nonprofit newsroom? That 2% make it possible for millions to read the Forward without a paywall or subscription — removing any barriers to the full and fair Jewish story.
But while the Forward is free to read, it isn’t free to produce. Big stories — like deep dives into the antisemitism data, political scoops or reporting trips to college campuses — take months of research and fact-checking. All while we keep you informed of what you need to know each day.
