Republicans in the Lead, but Control of the House of Representatives Still Undecided
Control of Congress is one of the top prizes in this 2024 election. All 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives were being decided by voters in every state across the country on Tuesday. Dozens of results were still too close to call as of Wednesday morning.
Before Election Day, Republicans controlled the House with 220 GOP representatives compared to the Democrats' 212 representatives.
So far, Republicans have flipped one seat.
That took place in North Carolina where Republican Brad Knott won election to a U.S. House seat, flipping a Democratic-held seat.
But Democrats have also taken away several Republican-held seats.
Democrats in New York flipped two key U.S. House seats. Democrat Josh Riley beat freshman incumbent Rep. Marc Molinaro. And in the state's 22nd Congressional District, Democrat John Mannion defeated Republican incumbent Rep. Brandon Williams.
At the last tally, Republicans have won 205 seats while Democrats have won 190 seats.
Votes are still being counted in dozens of races still too close to call.
A few competitive bellwether races to watch included the following districts – you can follow each race individually using our Election Map on our Politics page HERE:
- PA-07 and PA-08 (could flip to Republican)
- AZ-01 (a Republican in a district Biden won narrowly)
- OH-09 (a longtime Democrat in a district Trump won)
- NY-04 (a Republican-held seat that could flip)
- CA-47 and CA-45 (held by Republicans in what was Biden territory in 2024)
