Two days after the election, control of the U.S. House of Representatives remains up in the air, with key races still counting votes. As of Wednesday afternoon, the Associated Press projects Republicans holding 211 seats, compared to Democrats’ 200. With 218 seats needed for a majority, the path forward hinges on a handful of unresolved districts.

All 435 House seats were up for grabs in 2024, with both parties vying for what looks to be a slim majority. If the GOP retains control of the House, it would solidify their dominance in Congress, given they’ve already secured the Senate. This could give President-elect Donald Trump significant legislative momentum, though a slim majority might still present hurdles.

House Speaker Mike Johnson’s narrow four-seat majority may require bipartisan cooperation, especially with a Democratic-led Senate. GOP leaders remain optimistic as vote counts continue, but Democrats insist they still have a shot and demand every vote be counted.

According to NBC News, key districts yet to be called include:

• Alaska’s At-Large District
• Arizona’s 6th District
• Multiple California districts (22nd, 41st, 45th, 47th)
• Colorado’s 8th District
• Iowa’s 1st District
• Maine’s 2nd District
• Ohio’s 9th District
• Oregon’s 5th District
• Washington’s 3rd and 4th Districts

The final results will determine whether Republicans maintain control or if Democrats stage a late comeback.
