House Control Still Uncertain Following Republican Senate, Presidential Wins

While Republicans won the White House and the Senate, the battle for control of the U.S. House remains unresolved. With dozens of competitive races still undecided, the results will determine if Republicans can maintain their current majority.

Democrats Seek to Flip Key Districts

Democrats are working to narrow Republicans’ four-seat House majority. They gained two seats in New York on Election Day, but further gains will be necessary to secure control of the lower chamber. Democrats must retain incumbent seats while capturing additional Republican-held districts in battleground areas.

Close Races Across Battleground States and California

About two dozen highly competitive races remain undecided in key battleground states and in California. Polling leading up to Election Day indicated razor-thin margins, and preliminary results confirm that many races are neck-and-neck, underscoring how pivotal these undecided contests are to the House majority.

Uncertain Outcome May Persist for Days or Weeks

With tight margins across many contested districts, a final resolution could be delayed for several days or even weeks. The House outcome depends on these close races, where vote counting and possible recounts could prolong the process.
