Here's Where the Race for Control of the House Stands

Democrats have retained control of the Senate, but power over the House still remains undecided. As of Sunday morning, 20 races for the U.S. House of Representatives were uncalled, with either political party within the means to take control of the 435-member House.

The current tally has Republicans leading with 211 seats. Democrats are lagging behind at 204 of the 218 needed to gain control of the House, but ballots are still being counted in Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Maine, Oregon and New York.

“I’m incredibly pleased by the [voter] turnout. And I think it’s a reflection of the quality of our candidates,” Biden said when asked about the election during a press gaggle on Nov. 13. “[I’m] confident [Democrats] could [keep the House]. Whether they will… it’s a stretch. Everything has to fall our way.”
