Former President Donald Trump has clinched a second term in the White House, and his Republican Party has won control of the Senate and the House. But several races remain uncalled.
While Republicans will control both chambers, with eight House races and one Senate race still uncalled, it remains to be seen how large their majorities will be — and therefore how easily they can move to implement Trump’s agenda.
With votes still being counted, here’s a look at the key races that remain uncalled by the NBC News Decision Desk (read more about
how those races are called
).
The lone Senate race left to call
Pennsylvania Senate:
Although Trump won Pennsylvania, the Senate race there is
headed to a recount
. Democratic Sen. Bob Casey is running for a third term against Republican Dave McCormick, a former hedge fund CEO who ran unsuccessfully for the GOP Senate nomination in 2022.
House races left to call
Control of the House
was called for Republicans, but it’s still unclear how large — or, more accurately, how narrow — their majority will be. Right now, eight races remain uncalled.
Alaska At-Large District:
Republicans are looking to pick up
this seat
, encompassing the entire state, which Trump carried easily. Republican Nick Begich is leading Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola, but he is
hovering around
the 50% threshold required to win the race outright. If he falls short of that threshold, the race will head to ranked-choice voting, but Republicans are confident they would still carry the seat in that scenario.
California’s 9th District:
Democratic Rep. Josh Harder is narrowly leading his Republican opponent, Stockton Mayor Kevin Lincoln.
California’s 13th District:
GOP Rep. John Duarte is locked in a tight race against Democrat Adam Gray, a former state legislator, in this Central Valley district.
California’s 21st District:
Democratic Rep. Jim Costa is locked in a close race with Republican Michael Maher, a former FBI agent, in this Fresno-area district.
California’s 45th District:
GOP Rep. Michelle Steel is narrowly ahead of Democratic Army veteran Derek Tran in one of the most expensive races in the country, but the batches of ballots that have been counted since election night have leaned Tran’s way.
Iowa’s 1st District:
Just a few hundred votes separate Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Democrat Christina Bohannan, a former state representative. It is familiar territory for Miller-Meeks, who won her 2020 race by just six votes.
Maine’s 2nd District:
Democratic Rep. Jared Golden has been a top GOP target, and he is ahead of Republican state Rep. Austin Theriault, a former NASCAR driver, as the two candidates await the tabulation of the state’s ranked-choice votes.
Ohio’s 9th District:
