As of Tuesday evening, Levin was ahead of Republicans with 52 percent of the vote Matt Gunderson by approximately 14,200 votes. A day after Election Day, the two were separated by only 5,000 votes, but later Democratic-leaning ballots steadily moved Levin into a more decisive lead.

“This was a tough, competitive race, and I’m proud of the incredible work we did as a team of hundreds of volunteers to get this across the finish line. “We knocked on thousands of doors, called thousands of voters, and held town halls across the district to remind our residents of bipartisan support,” Levin said in a statement Tuesday night. “I am committed to working with my colleagues from both parties on common-sense, bipartisan solutions to our urgent problems. We must come together to serve all American families.”

In his statement, Min pledged to “defend our rights, including women’s reproductive rights, and fight for a stronger and better future for young people, including creating more affordable housing, reducing gun violence, and doing all we can to achieve this.” Save our civilization from the climate crisis.”

However, Tran has been steadily closing the gap in recent days. Tran now trails Steel by 2,272 votes, though the two were more than 11,000 votes apart the day after Election Day.

So far Trump has nominated the Representative. Elise StefanikR-New York and Representative Mike WaltzR-Florida will serve in his second administration — meaning governors of both states must hold special elections to fill those seats once confirmed.

Matt Jarvis, an associate professor of political science at Cal State Fullerton, said that even though those seats are red and “not particularly winnable,” Trump will likely have a hard time passing any early bills early in his administration until those seats are filled.

“He’s going to need every single vote, and at least what he’s done so far is drop the vote by two votes in the period leading up to the special election being called,” he said.

“So these remaining (uncalled) races could really have an impact in the early days of the administration,” Jarvis said.
