House races: Republicans gain ground, Democrats keep big majority

Democrats maintain a massive majority in the U.S. House, with the Associated Press calling 254 races for them and 162 for Republicans as of Friday afternoon, leaving 19 seats uncalled. Republicans gained a few wins Friday, including Jeff Hurd in Colorado, Mark Lamb in Arizona, and Anthony Constantino in New York, though Democrats lead in about half of the remaining uncalled races and could expand their majority further. Several incumbent Republicans face potential defeat, including Lauren Boebert, whose campaign alleges unusual voting patterns and expects a recount. In the Senate, two races remain uncalled, with Democrats holding a 54-44 majority.
