Here Are the Uncalled House Races That Will Determine Control of the Chamber

The Epoch Times Header

Breaking News: Republicans will Keep control of the House of Representatives.

There are 20 races in the U.S. House of Representatives that are still being counted: 10 of which are in California.

As the last remaining votes are tallied nationwide, several key House races that are yet to be called will decide which party controls the chamber in 2025.

As of Saturday evening, The Associated Press still hasnโ€™t called 20 seats in 10 states. The current status has Republicans leading Democrats by 213 seats to 202. A majority is reached at 218 seats.

If the current margins endure once all votes are counted, Republicans could net 11 more seats, for a total of 224. Democrats could add 9 seats, for a total of 211 as the new Congress is sworn in next year.

The current House of Representatives has 220 Republican seats, 212 Democratic, and three vacancies.

Midwest, South, and Northeast Races

Incumbent Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa) is fending off her Democratic challenger Christina Bohannan for Iowaโ€™s 1st congressional district race. Miller-Meeks is leading by fewer than 1,000 votes, or 0.2 percent, with 99 percent of the votes counted.

In Louisiana, an interesting race is playing out for the stateโ€™s 6th congressional district. Because Louisiana uses a majority-vote system, all candidates compete in the same primary, and a single candidate can win outright in that race by receiving more than 50 percent of the vote totals.

With the open primary occurring on Election Day, Democrat Cleo Fields is currently leading the pack with 50.8 percent with 99 percent of the vote tallied. He is followed by Republican Elbert Guillory in second place with 37.8 percent. If Fields keeps his lead, it would be a pickup seat for Democrats, as itโ€™s currently held by incumbent Rep. Garret Graves (R-La.), who did not seek reelection this year.

Incumbent Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) is leading by slightly more than 1,000 votes against Republican Austin Theriault in the race for Maineโ€™s 2nd congressional district. More than 98 percent of the vote has been tallied.

California, Oregon, Washington

Many of Californiaโ€™s districts have a significant number of ballots left to be counted before key House races can be called.

In the 9th district, incumbent Rep. Josh Harder (D-Calif.) is leading Republican Kevin Lincoln by 2.4 percent with 64 percent of the votes tallied. Incumbent Rep. John Duarte (R-Calif.) is ahead of Democrat Adam Gray in the 13th district by 2.5 percent, with 62 percent of ballots counted.
