GOP House majority hangs in the balance with key California races too close to call

Control of the U.S. House of Representatives is still undermined on Wednesday with key competitive races too close to call.

Republicans are fighting to hold onto control of the chamber, where they currently have 220 seats, compared to Democrats' 212, with three vacancies. 

Republican Derrick Anderson is trailing former Army Col. Eugene Vindman in the battle for the seat held by Democrat Rep. Abigail Spanberger, who is now running for governor, in Virginia's 7th congressional district. The race has not yet been called. 

There are also seven swing districts in New York that were being closely watched on Election Night. 

Five of those districts are currently held by first-term Republicans, including Long Island districts one and four, Hudson Valley districts 17, and 19 as well as the 22nd congressional district in Syracuse. 

Districts three and 18 are represented by Democrats who were able to hold their seats.

The first district remains Republican with Rep. Nicholas LaLota's victory and Rep. Michael Lawler was also able to hold onto his seat in the 17th district.

So far, Democrats flipped the 22nd district race with John Mannion's victory as well as Laura Gillen in the fourth district.

The 19th district race remains too close to call.

There are six competitive races in California that will influence which party wins the majority, in districts 13, 22, 27, 41, 45 and 47. None of those races had been called yet as of Wednesday afternoon.

Pivoting to other closely-watched contests, Rep. Don Davis, D-N.C., who represents the first congressional district in the state, held his seat in the race against Republican Laurie Buckhout. Democrat Shomari Figures defeated Republican Caroleene Dobson in Alabama’s newly drawn second district.

Rep. Don Bacon, R-Neb., who is running for reelection against state Senator Tony Vargas, is leading in that contest but the race hasn't been officially called.
