Republicans still Maintain Leadership of the Congress
Key House of Representative Races:
Alaska’s at-large congressional district:
Democratic incumbent Rep. Mary Sattler Peltola is in a tight race in Alaska’s at-large congressional district, where she is trailing Republican entrepreneur Nick Begich.
As of Saturday evening, Begich was leading Peltola 49.49% to 45.42% with 76.5% of the vote counted.
Arizona’s 6th Congressional District:
The race in Arizona’s 6th Congressional District is tight, with the Republican candidate barely leading.
Republican Rep. Juan Ciscomani, a first-term lawmaker, was leading former Democratic state lawmaker Kirsten Engel by just 1,795 votes as of Saturday evening. According to Fox News' Decision Desk, 75.64% of the vote has been counted.
California’s 13th Congressional District:
Republican Rep. John Duarte is leading former Democratic state Assembly member Adam Gray in California’s 13th Congressional District, but the highly contested race remains uncalled as of Saturday.
With 61.7% of the vote, Duarte, a first-term lawmaker, was ahead of Gray. Duarte took the lead with 52% of the vote, and Gray trailed with 48.75% with 61.73% of the vote counted.
California’s 47th Congressional District:
The race to succeed outgoing Democratic Rep. Katie Porter in California’s 47th Congressional District is also razor-thin.
Republican Scott Baugh, a former Assembly member, and state Sen. Dave Min, a Democrat, are vying for the open seat.
Min has 50% of the vote to Baugh's 49.8% with 79% of the votes counted.
Colorado’s 8th Congressional District
Rep. Yadira Caraveo, a Democrat, is trailing Republican state Rep. Gabe Evans in Colorado’s 8th Congressional District.
With 86% of the votes counted, Evans was ahead of Caraveo. The lead, if sustained, would be a flip for Republicans.
Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., has said the House is poised to remain in GOP hands, and he has launched his bid to retain the gavel.
Democrats are holding out hope they could win by a razor-thin majority.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., wrote on X Thursday it "has yet to be decided who will control" the House next year, pointing to ongoing ballot counting in Oregon, Arizona and California
