Republicans One Seat Away from Controlling the House

Republicans are on the precipice of claiming control of the House of Representatives — one seat shy of the 218 seats needed to take power back from the Democrats.

The Associated Press called three races for Republicans late Monday, including the re-elections of Representative Michelle Steel and Representative Ken Calvert, both of California. In New York, Republicans also maintained control of the seat of the retiring Representative John Katko, a moderate who had held a Syracuse-based district that had voted for Democrats in the last two presidential elections. Brandon Williams, a Republican Navy veteran, defeated Francis Conole, the Democrat, in that contest.

The results left Republicans with 217 seats. Control of the House could be determined as early as Tuesday. Check out our breakdown of the Republican path needed to win.
