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 at least three seats.

Two Democrat seat were flipped red in Pennsylvania’s PA-07 and PA-08 districts, and in North Carolina Republican Brad Knott won election by also flipping a Democratic-held seat. 

But Democrats have also taken away at least three Republican-held seats.

Democrats in New York flipped three key U.S. House seats. On Thursday, Democrats flipped the NY-04 district from red to blue.

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.

The latest tally shows Republicans have won 210 seats while Democrats have won 197 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:
