In the highly competitive landscape, California emerges as a focal point for Democrats aiming to reclaim a majority. Five crucial districts are being scrutinized, with challengers vying to topple the incumbents. Current polling indicates narrow margins in initial results, particularly in California's 45th, where Republican Michelle Steel leads Democrat Derek Tran by four points, and California's 27th, where Democrat George Whitesides trails Republican Mike Garcia by only two points.
Arizona's two tight races are too close to call, with margins under 2%. Republican Juan Ciscomani currently leads Democratic opponent Kirsten Engel by a slim margin in the southeastern district, while Republican David Schweikert is holding onto a 1% lead over Democrat Amish Shah in the northeastern district outside Phoenix.
Maine’s district sees Democrat Jared Golden clinging to a slight edge against Republican Austin Theriault, with results indicating less than a point separating the candidates. Also, in Ohio, veteran Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur is maintaining a narrow 0.3 point lead against Republican challenger Derek Merrin in the Toledo encompassing district.
As vote counts continue, analysts will monitor these key races to determine whether the GOP can solidify their grip on the House or if Democrats can stage an upset in the race for control.
