Sarah Palin defeated by Mary Peltola in Alaska comeback bid
Former US vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin is projected to have again lost her bid for a political comeback After This month's midterm elections.
The Republican suffered her second defeat in three months to Mary Peltola, a Democrat, in The Race for a US House of Representatives seat in Alaska.
Senator Lisa Murkowski is meanwhile projected to have beaten a fellow Republican challenger in her election.
The results won't affect which parties run Congress after the midterms.
Republicans will still take over The House , while Democrats retain The Senate .
The Alaska races took Two Weeks to be called because The State uses a new ranked-choice voting system.
Cbs News , The Bbc 's US partner, projected the result for Alaska's at-large House seat on Wednesday night with 88% of votes counted, showing Ms Peltola on 55% and Ms Palin on 45%.
Ms Peltola, her first victory over Ms Palin.
The Democrat's win is notable in a conservative state that former President Donald Trump took by 10 points in 2020 and in a district that was Republican-held for nearly five decades.
Senator Murkowski - an incumbent moderate Republican who voted to impeach Mr Trump for incitement of insurrection after Last Year 's US Capitol Riot - has also cruised to re-election.
With almost all votes counted, she has beaten Trump-endorsed intra-party challenger Kelly Tshibaka by More Than seven points, CBS projects.
In 2020, Mr Trump vowed to campaign against Ms Murkowski, saying: " Get any candidate ready, good or bad, I don't care, I'm endorsing. If you have a pulse, I'm With You ! "
The former President - who has just launched another campaign for the White House - travelled In July to Anchorage to appear at a rally for Ms Palin and Ms Tshibaka.
Ms Peltola, who is Yup'ik and grew up in a rural part of Alaska, campaigned for abortion access, Climate Action and The State 's salmon populations.
She served in the statehouse in Juneau for a decade, overlapping with Ms Palin during her 2006-09 tenure as governor of Alaska.
Despite their political rivalry, the two say They bonded in The Capitol as They were both pregnant at The Time .
Ms Palin's brand of combative conservatism and anti-establishment appeal led many to consider her as the political precursor to Mr Trump.
The former self-described Hockey Mom was the vice-presidential running mate in 2008 to Arizona Senator John Mccain , who lost to Barack Obama .
Ms Palin went on to star on reality TV shows, wrote a best-selling memoir, Going Rogue , and signed a $1m-a-year contract with Fox News .
After the Alaska result, CBS estimates Republicans currently have 221 seats in the 435-seat House and Democrats 213.
Only one House race remains to be called from the midterms: in California's 13th district, which The Network says is leaning towards the Republican candidate.
Democrats currently have 50 Senate seats (Republicans have 49) and could Pick Up an extra one after a run-off election in Georgia next month.
Even if They lose in Georgia, Democrats will still control the upper chamber of Congress owing to the vice-President 's tie-breaking vote.
