    At this point it is becoming clear that the GOP will also have a majority in the U.S. House. As of yesterday the GOP had 216 of the needed 218 seats.

    Control of the House has yet to be determined, as a number of critical races remain too close to call, leaving lawmakers — and voters — waiting to see which party will hold the majority next year.

    The sprint to 218 seats, however, is nearing the final stretch, after a handful of additional races were called in the days following election night.

    Republicans had secured 216 seats in the lower chamber as of Friday evening, with Democrats trailing at 208 seats, according to Decision Desk HQ. A total of 11 races have not yet been called: Democrats are leading in threeof the contests, while GOP candidates are ahead in the other eight.

    Republicans, nonetheless, are wasting no time in claiming victory even as the final tally remains unclear. Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) has said the House is poised to remain in GOP hands, and he has already launched his bid to retain hold of the gavel.

    Democrats, meanwhile, are holding out hope that they could eke out a razor-thin majority. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Thursday it “has yet to be decided who will control” the House next year, pointing to ongoing ballot counting in Oregon, Arizona and California.

    Several competitive House races have been called in the past couple days, including Rep. David Schweikert’s (R) reelection in Arizona’s 1st Congressional District; Rep. David Valadao’s (R) reelection in California’s 22nd Congressional District; April McClain Delaney’s (D) election in Maryland’s 6th Congressional District; Rep. Andrea Salinas’s (D) reelection in Oregon’s 6th Congressional District; Rep. Julia Brownley’s (D) reelection in California’s 26th Congressional District; and Rep. Linda Sánchez’s (D) reelection in California 38th Congressional District.

    Here are the uncalled races to watch in the quest for control of the House.
