House Republicans appear to be closing in on keeping the majority as several key races in the West remain outstanding.
The majority in the House of Representatives appears within reach for Republicans, who have already won control of the Senate and White House. Associated Press race projections show Republicans holding 209 seats compared to 196 seats for Democrats as of Thursday afternoon. A total of five sitting House lawmakers are projected to lose their re-election bids so far – three Republicans and two Democrats.
Democrats have scored key wins in projections by unseating Republican incumbents in three New York seats – Reps. Marc Molinaro, Brandon Williams and Anthony D'Esposito. Republicans are projected to flip three seats as well – one vacated by a Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., to run for Senate, and two districts held by moderate Democrats in Pennsylvania. The GOP also saw former House Freedom Caucus Chairman Scott Perry, R-Pa., projected to survive his toughest race yet as of Thursday afternoon.
