1 month ago 2

With Republicans having been declared winners of the White House and the Senate, the race for the House of Representatives remains undecided.

There are 435 voting members of the House, with 218 needed for a party to hold a majority. So far, the Associated Press has called 198 seats for the Republican Party and 180 for the Democratic Party. 57 races have not been called.

Of the uncalled races, Republicans currently lead in 24, they need to win 20 of those to secure a majority. The Democrats lead in 33, they need to win all of those as well as five districts where Republicans are currently leading to win a majority.

Therefore, Republicans are currently favorites to win a small majority in the House, meaning they will control both chambers of Congress and the White House.
