The size of the Republican House majority will be decided by the 8 races that remain uncalled

After more than a week Election daythe final outcome of the 2024 election has yet to be decided as eight House races remain uncalled.

Republican Donald Trump has won the presidency again, and the GOP 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 will be unclear until all the votes are counted. The balance of power is currently 218 seats for Republicans and 209 for Democrats.

Oregon’s 5th Congressional District was the latest race to be called Thursday, in which Democrat Janelle Bynum is projected to unseat Republican incumbent Rep. Lori-Chavez-DeRemer.

Here’s how the unnamed races for House stand:
