Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer won her slugfest with GOP rival Carly Fiorina on Tuesday night, ending one of the hottest, most fiercely contested and expensive Senate races in the nation.
The Associated Press declared Boxer the winner.
Boxer led in public opinion polls for most of the campaign, but the race remained close as she struggled to get more than 50 percent in many of them. With control of the U.S. Senate at stake, the race aroused intense national interest, and both candidates ran particularly negative and hard-hitting ads against each other.
