The most important left are House races, which will decide whether the Republicans gain a governmental trifecta.

KEY DATES FOR THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL TRANSITION

Here are the 2024 election results that have yet to be announced:

Control of the House

Republicans handily won the presidency and Senate, but House results have taken longer to calculate. As of Sunday morning, 24 House races have yet to be decided.

Every two years, all 435 House seats are up for grabs. Republicans went into the election with a narrow majority won in 2022, a fragile balance that many Democrats viewed as particularly vulnerable.

So far, Republicans have secured 213 seats — three of which were flipped from the Democrats — while Democrats have 202. Either side needs 218 seats for a majority.

Current analysis favors the Republicans winning a narrow majority, though Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi said in an interview with the New York Times that she still sees hope.

One final Senate race: Gallego vs Lake

Arizona has become infamous for its slow count of election results, becoming the last swing state to declare Trump the victor. The state currently has the President-elect up by a six-point margin, with 87% reporting.

VOTERS SEND HISTORY-MAKING CANDIDATES TO CONGRESS

Trump’s success hasn’t translated to a victory for Republican Kari Lake, who is going up against Democrat Ruben Gallego for Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s (I-AZ) seat. Ruben has maintained a narrow lead for days. As of Sunday morning, Gallego has 49.7% of the vote compared to Lake’s 48.2%.

Though the results are close, Gallego is widely projected to win, with several outlets calling the race for him.

California House races and minimum wage proposition

California saw a decisive rightward shift in 2024, with areas outside of the major metropolis areas voting increasingly Republican. Despite the state’s left-wing reputation, Republicans are relying on several House seats for their majority.

As of Sunday, 10 House races are still too close to call. Democrats are leading in six of the uncalled California House races, while Republicans are leading in four races.

FIVE DEMOCRATS IN PRIME POSITION TO BE FACE OF THE PARTY IN 2028

Of these, one race looks to be soon confirmed for the Republicans, while one looks to be confirmed for the Democrats. The District 22 race has the Republican up by seven points, with 76% reporting, while the District 39 race has the Democrat up by 12 points, with 63% reporting.

California has a notoriously long ballot-counting process due to its high population and easy access to voting, which makes verifying ballots a lengthy process.

Proposition 32, which would raise the minimum wage to $18 an hour also is undecided, with 51.5% of voters casting their ballot in opposition as of Sunday morning with 72% of the vote counted.

Speaking on Friday, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) expressed optimism over the races to Fox and Friends on Friday.

“California’s got a lot of the outstanding races, and I’ve talked to each one of our incumbents who are in those 50/50 races — they’re all leading, by the way — but they feel like what is outstanding … are good areas for them,” he said.

Possible flip in Oregon’s 5th district

Democrats are set to flip one of only two Republican House seats in Oregon. Freshman incumbent Rep. Lori Chavez-Remer (R-OR) is 1.5 points behind Democratic challenger Janelle Bynum, with 83% reporting.

Bynum declared victory in the race on Saturday, though the Associated Press still hasn’t called the race.

Vulnerable Rep. Golden in Maine’s 2nd district

The race between centrist Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) and former NASCAR driver Austin Theriault is one of the tightest of the 2024 cycle. With 98% reporting, Golden is ahead by just over 700 votes, or 0.2 points.

Golden was a rare Democrat to openly go against President Joe Biden, writing an op-ed in July saying that he was fine with a Trump victory. Theriault has attempted to portray Golden as dishonest and linked with Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

With the tight margins of the race, a recount is possible but Maine laws don’t automatically trigger one. Theriault would be able to request a recount if the final result has a margin of less than one percent.

Miller-Meeks fights to keep her seat in Iowa’s 1st district

In another one of the closest elections of the 2024 cycle, incumbent Rep. Marriannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA) holds a narrow lead of about 800 votes over Democratic challenger Christina Bohannan, with 99% reporting.

There is no required margin to request a recount, but if the final tally shows less than 1% between the two candidates, the state will pay for it. Iowa officials have said the vote will be finalized by Tuesday or Wednesday.
