House Control Undecided with Republicans Leading Dems, Expanding Senate Control

HeadlineNov 08, 2024

Control over the House of Representatives remains unresolved, with more than two dozen House races yet to be called. Republicans have won 211 of the 218 seats needed to retake their House majority. Democrats have won 199 seats. In one closely watched race, Long Island Democrat Laura Gillen has defeated incumbent Republican congressmember and former NYPD detective Anthony D’Esposito to represent New York’s 4th District.

Republicans are poised to expand their Senate majority. In Pennsylvania, several news outlets have projected Republican Dave McCormick will defeat incumbent Democratic Senator Bob Casey. However, Casey has refused to concede, and the very close race could be headed to a recount.

In Arizona’s Senate race, with three-quarters of ballots counted, Democrat Rubén Gallego holds a 1.7 percentage point lead over Republican challenger Kari Lake, a far-right election denier and Trump ally.
