    All 2024 uncalled races are behind us in the fight for control of Washington

    Harry Posted on

    Former President Donald Trump was elected to a second term in the White House and his Republican Party took control of the Senate. But control of the House of Representatives and the size of the Senate majority are still up for grabs.

    In the House battle, Democrats face an uphill climb to secure the four seats needed to take a seat in the chamber, while Republicans need to win just a few competitive races to gain a majority. With more than a dozen House races still uncalled and many appearing close, Democrats will need to hold on to all their competitive seats and flip a few Republican-held seats to reach the 218 seats needed for a majority.

    While votes are still being counted, here’s a look at the key races that haven’t been canceled by the NBC News Decision Desk (read more) What are the names of these races?). Control of the House of Representatives could take days or even weeks to unravel, although some battleground states are tipped relatively quickly.

    Presidential battlefields

    With Trump’s victory in Michigan predicted by NBC News on Wednesday afternoon and a victory in Nevada expected early Thursday morning, only one battleground state remained undecided.

    In the Sun Belt, Trump is ahead in Arizona, but the state is too close to call.

    It remains to call the Senate

    Arizona Senate: Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego is ahead of Republican Kari Lake in the vote count, but the race is too early to call. Lake trails Trump in the state, while Gallego trails Vice President Kamala Harris. Gallego, a former Marine, touted his military service in his race against Lake, a former local TV news anchor. Lake failed to run for governor in 2022 and made false claims that the 2022 race was affected by voter fraud.

    Pennsylvania Senate: Although Trump is projected to win Pennsylvania, the Senate race there is too close to be decided yet. Democratic Sen. Bob Casey is running for a third term against Republican Dave McCormick, the former hedge fund CEO who ran unsuccessfully for the GOP Senate nomination in 2022.
