The size of the Republican majority in the House will be decided by the 5 remaining uncalled races

More than a week later Election Daythe final outcome of the 2024 elections has not yet been decided as five House races remain uncalled.

Republican Donald Trump has won the presidency again and the Republican Party will have a majority in the Senate. The GOP is expected to maintain a majority in the House of Representatives, but the size of that majority won’t be clear until all votes are counted.

The balance of power is currently 218 seats for the Republicans and 212 for the Democrats.

CaliforniaThe 21st Congressional District was the last race to be called early Friday evening, when Democrat Jim Costa won re-election to the House over Republican challenger Michael Mayer, according to the Associated Press.

Also Friday, Democrat Josh Harder edged out Republican challenger Kevin Lincoln for re-election in California’s 9th Congressional District, while in Maine’s 2nd District, Democrat Jared Golden won re-election, narrowly defeating Republican challenger Austin Theriault.

Thursday, at Oregon’s 5th congressional districtDemocrat Janelle Bynum was expected to oust incumbent Republican Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer.

Several of the House races still to be decided are in California, which as of Tuesday had only about three-quarters of its votes counted statewide. The California Secretary of State appealed for patience on Thursday, announcing that the results would be certified on December 13.

Here’s where things stand with the uncalled Home races:
