Uncalled races obscure House majority status for 119th Congress

A small number of House races that will determine which party will hold the chamber’s majority in the 119th Congress were too close to call Wednesday morning.

Even as Republicans flipped enough seats to secure a majority in the Senate and the Associated Press predicted that former President Donald Trump would comfortably win enough electoral votes to win the presidency, the question remained whether the GOP would retain or expand its majority in the House of Representatives. unresolved.

More than 50 home runs were not called by the AP at press timeand among them are swing districts that have Republicans running in districts that favor Democrats, or Democrats running in districts that favor Republicans.

Republicans currently hold a four-seat majority, and vote counts of no-call races in places like Pennsylvania, New York, California and Arizona indicate that whichever party ultimately claims a majority, it could be a similar close margin.
