By Wednesday morning, it was clear that Republicans had retaken the White House and the Senate. But it will take longer to know if they can maintain control of the House of Representatives, where dozens of races are still too close to call.
Republicans have held Congress’s lower chamber since 2022 and currently have a four-seat majority. Democrats are hoping to wrest it away by flipping key districts.
On Tuesday, Democrats picked up a pair of seats in New York. But they still needed several incumbents to win re-election and to pick off a number of other Republican seats to win control.
Among the contests still undecided are around two dozen competitive races in battleground states and in California.
Throughout the campaign, polling suggested that the margins in House races across the country would be tight, and preliminary vote results on Tuesday in the most hotly contested districts confirmed that, meaning the outcome could be in limbo for days or weeks.
