Democrats’ path to take back control of the House of Representatives has narrowed as Republicans outperformed expectations up and down the ballot and Donald Trump retook the White House, but the outcome of dozens of races makes it too close to call as of early Wednesday morning.

The 2024 elections have delivered key wins in select states that will significantly shift the control of Congress to Republicans.

Democrats’ path to retake control of the House of Representatives got slimmer as more races were called on Wednesday and Thursday. The party needs a net gain of four seats in order to win back the majority in Congress’ lower chamber.

Donald Trump's Republicans were projected to pick up another U.S. Senate seat on Thursday and appeared to be retaining their narrow hold on the House of Representatives, putting them on track to control both chambers of Congress next year.

Democrats picked up two seats in New York and defended others in Michigan and New Mexico, but Republican gains have narrowed their path, setting up a potential G.O.P. trifecta.

Republican leaders projected confidence Thursday that they will keep control of the U.S. House as more races were decided in their favor, while Democrats insisted they still see a path toward the majority and sought assurances every vote will be counted.
