Where Things Stand In The Battle For House Control

Politico has the latest recap:

The Associated Press called seven new congressional races on Friday and three on Saturday — all for Democrats.  The balance of power in the House currently stands at 211 Republicans and 203 Democrats — but, functionally, it’s more closely divided.

The list of uncalled races includes one California contest where both general-election candidates are Democrats. And allocating the roughly dozen races where one party is significantly favored — but where The AP hasn’t made a call — adds six more seats to the Democratic Party’s tally, and four races to Republicans’.

That would put Republicans at 215 seats, just three seats away from the majority, while Democrats would be six seats short. But with 10 seats in doubt — six with Republicans leading, and four where Democrats are ahead — both parties still have a shot, though the GOP is still favored.
