Here Are the Uncalled House Races That Will Determine Control of the Chamber

There are 20 races in the U.S. House of Representatives that are still being counted: 10 of which are in California.

As the last remaining votes are tallied nationwide, several key House races that are yet to be called will decide which party controls the chamber in 2025.

As of Saturday evening, The Associated Press still hasn’t called 20 seats in 10 states. The current status has Republicans leading Democrats by 213 seats to 202. A majority is reached at 218 seats.

If the current margins endure once all votes are counted, Republicans could net 11 more seats, for a total of 224. Democrats could add 9 seats, for a total of 211 as the new Congress is sworn in next year.

The current House of Representatives has 220 Republican seats, 212 Democratic, and three vacancies.

Midwest, South, and Northeast Races

Incumbent Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-Iowa) is fending off her Democratic challenger Christina Bohannan for Iowa’s 1st congressional district race. Miller-Meeks is leading by fewer than 1,000 votes, or 0.2 percent, with 99 percent of the votes counted.
In Louisiana, an interesting race is playing out for the state’s 6th congressional district. Because Louisiana uses a majority-vote system, all candidates compete in the same primary, and a single candidate can win outright in that race by receiving more than 50 percent of the vote totals.

With the open primary occurring on Election Day, Democrat Cleo Fields is currently leading the pack with 50.8 percent with 99 percent of the vote tallied. He is followed by Republican Elbert Guillory in second place with 37.8 percent. If Fields keeps his lead, it would be a pickup seat for Democrats, as it’s currently held by incumbent Rep. Garret Graves (R-La.), who did not seek reelection this year.

Incumbent Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine) is leading by slightly more than 1,000 votes against Republican Austin Theriault in the race for Maine’s 2nd congressional district. More than 98 percent of the vote has been tallied.

California, Oregon, Washington

Many of California’s districts have a significant number of ballots left to be counted before key House races can be called.
In the 9th district, incumbent Rep. Josh Harder (D-Calif.) is leading Republican Kevin Lincoln by 2.4 percent with 64 percent of the votes tallied. Incumbent Rep. John Duarte (R-Calif.) is ahead of Democrat Adam Gray in the 13th district by 2.5 percent, with 62 percent of ballots counted.

With roughly 63 percent of votes counted in California’s 21st congressional district, incumbent Rep. Jim Costa (D-Calif.) leads by 1 percent. Incumbent Rep. Mike Garcia (R-Calif.) is ahead of Democrat George Whitesides by less than 1,000 votes in the 27th district, and 23 percent of ballots still need to be tallied.

Another incumbent, Rep. David Valadao (R-Calif.), is leading in his race for California’s 22nd congressional district, ahead of Democrat Rudy Salas by 9 percent with 66 percent of the votes counted. Incumbent Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.) currently leads by a similar 11.6 percent in the 39th district against Republican David Serpa, with slightly more than half of the votes counted.

In the 41st district, incumbent Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif) leads Democrat Will Rollins by 2.8 percent, with another 43 percent of votes to be processed. Incumbent Rep. Mike Levin (D-Calif.) is also ahead of his Republican challenger, Matt Gunderson, in the state’s 49th district with 20 percent of votes left uncounted. Levin leads by 3.2 percent.

Roughly 76 percent of the votes have been counted in California’s 45th congressional district, and incumbent Rep. Michelle Steel (R-Calif.) is leading Democrat Derek Tran by 3 percent.

Incumbent Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) ran in the nonpartisan primary for the U.S. Senate, losing to now Senator-elect Adam Schiff, a Democrat, and Republican Steve Garvey. Porter is vacating her seat in California’s 47th district, and Democrat Dave Min is now leading Republican Scott Baugh by 0.4 percent with 79 percent of the vote counted.

In Oregon’s 5th district, incumbent Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore.) is behind her Democratic challenger Janelle Bynum by 2.5 percent with 17 percent of votes left to be tallied.

Washington’s 4th district will go to a Republican as both incumbent Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Wash.) and Republican Jerrod Sessler advanced from the top-two primary earlier this year. Newhouse leads by 4.6 percent.

Arizona, Colorado, Alaska

In Arizona, incumbent Rep. David Schweikert (R-Ariz.) is ahead in the 1st district by 4.4 percent over Democrat Amish Shah, with another 11 percent of ballots left to count.
In Arizona’s 4th district, which includes Phoenix, incumbent Rep. Greg Stanton (D-Ariz.) is ahead of Republican challenger Kelly Cooper by a 6.5 percent margin with 89 percent of votes counted.

Arizona’s 6th district has incumbent Rep. Juan Ciscomani (R-Ariz.) up by 0.5 percent over Democrat Kirsten Engel with 76 percent of ballots processed.

The Republican challenger, Gabe Evans, is ahead of incumbent Rep. Yadira Caraveo (D-Colo.) by 0.6 percent in Colorado’s 8th congressional district as another 14 percent of votes still need to be counted.

Outside of the contiguous United States, in Alaska’s 1st congressional district, Republican Nick Begich is leading incumbent Rep. Mary Peltola (D-Alaska) 49.5 percent to 45.4 percent with 76 percent of votes currently processed. Unless one candidate appears as the first choice on a majority of ballots, the election will advance to ranked-choice voting.

My favorite new term of the day: Self-deportation

Cut off the gravy train and in may cases, deportation will not be required, because they're going to self-deport. Cool

Some of the above races have been called, including AZ (R) Schweikert defeats Shah (called by AP), and of course (R) Evans beats Caraveo (conceded) in CO 8th district.

Never to thank him for his military service. Well OK then. With all respect, that is one hell of a non sequitur. Did he explain further or no?

Decision Desk HQ has the House at 216 Republicans vs 208 Democrats. They are projecting that the Republicans will have the majority/control of the House (80.5% likelihood) w/ a total of 220 seats.

https://decisiondeskhq.com/res...24/General/US-House/

With the concession in Colorado (CO 8), Evans makes it 217 Republican seats now. Republican are currently leading in 2 districts in California (CA 41 and CA 13), as well as in Arizona (AZ 6), and Alaska (AK At-Large).

Decision Desk been correct w/ every call thus far...Just Sayin' Wink

NY Post: Trump offers post of UN ambassador to Elise Stefanik.

Link

This will trigger a special election in 90 days; Stefanik is in a reliably red district. Important because GOP will probably have a razor-thin margin in the House.

If we have to have a UN ambassador, I really like Stefanik for this post. She was tough as nails in the horrible Kavanaugh hearings.

Biden to lobby Trump not to abandon Ukraine during upcoming meeting
President-elect Trump, President Biden expected to meet at White House on Wednesday

By Greg Wehner | Fox News
Published November 10, 2024 7:07pm EST

President Biden will urge President-elect Trump to not abandon Ukraine when the two meet on Wednesday, among other domestic and foreign policies, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on Sunday.

On Tuesday, Trump defeated Vice President Harris in the presidential election, and he will take office on Jan. 20, 2025. After Trump won his way back into the Oval Office, Biden congratulated him and invited the 45th, and soon to be 47th, president of the United States to the White House to ensure a peaceful transition of power. The two are expected to meet this Wednesday.

On Sunday, Sullivan was a guest on CBS News’ "Face the Nation" where he said Biden’s top message would be ensuring his commitment to a peaceful transfer of power. Sullivan also said the president will talk to Trump about what is happening around the world in places like Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

"The president will have the chance to explain to President Trump how he sees things, where they stand and talk to President Trump about how President Trump is thinking about taking on these issues when he takes office," Sullivan said. "President Biden made clear when [Ukrainian] President [Volodymyr] Zelenskyy was here in Washington a couple of months ago that we would spend all of the resources that were provided to us by the Congress on time and in full, meaning that by Jan. 20th we will have sent the full amount of resources and aid to Ukraine that Congress has authorized."

He continued by saying that over the next 70 days, Biden will make the case to Congress and the incoming administration that the U.S. should not walk away from Ukraine, because walking away "means more instability in Europe."

"Ultimately, as the Japanese prime minister said, if we walk away from Ukraine in Europe, the question about America's commitment to our allies in Asia will grow," Sullivan said.

He would not say if Biden would propose specific legislation, but he explained that the president would make the case to continue sending resources to Ukraine beyond his term because Russia’s threat to Ukraine will remain.

"The United States should not walk away from its commitment either to Ukraine or to the 50 nations that we have rallied in defense of Ukraine, in both Europe and Asia," Sullivan said.

The national security adviser’s comments came as Ukraine launched an attack on Moscow with at least 34 drones on Sunday. The attack was the biggest drone strike on the Russian capital since the beginning of the war.

Trump has insisted that Russian President Vladimir Putin would never have invaded Ukraine if he were in the White House at the time. He also told Reuters that Ukraine may have to cede territory in order to reach a peace agreement, which Ukraine rejects and Biden has never suggested.

Washington has provided tens of billions of dollars’ worth of U.S. military and economic aid to Ukraine since it was invaded by Russia in February 2022, funding that Trump has repeatedly criticized and rallied against with other Republican lawmakers.

According to the Government Accountability Office, Congress appropriated over $174 billion to Ukraine under Biden. The pace of aid is almost sure to drop under Trump, with Republicans set to take control of the U.S. Senate with a 53-seat majority.

The war in Ukraine is entering what some officials say could be its final act after Moscow's forces advanced at the fastest pace since the early days of the war.

Any fresh attempt to end the war is likely to involve peace talks of some kind, which have not been held since the early months of the war.

Moscow's forces occupy around a fifth of Ukraine. Russia says the war cannot end until its claimed annexations are recognized. Kyiv demands all of its territory back, a position that has largely been supported by Western allies.

Billionaire Pratt Will Move To America After Trump Win As Liberals Flee To Canada

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...liberals-flee-canada



... there is another story unfolding of inbound migration to America, beginning with Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt, who will now live in the US after a Trump victory.

On Sunday, Pratt wrote on LinkedIn:

Honoured to be granted my Green Card for permanent USA residency last month.

We decided it was time to live in America because:

My family are all US citizens.

Over the past 30 years we have invested to build 70 factories in America, creating 12,000 well-paying American manufacturing jobs.

I will remain Chairman of Visy Australia, and will be returning to Australia on a regular basis.

Data from the Bloomberg Billionaires Index shows Pratt has a net worth of about $12.3 billion, ranking him 209th on the list and sixth in Australia.

Exchanging liberals experiencing mental health crises for businessmen who know how to make this nation great again—now that's a fair trade.

Things I learned about myself and everyone else who supported Trump from looking at my cousin's husbands FB posts last night:

We are all Nazis
We all hate brown people, black people, gays and trans people
We are the reason that women will soon be in Handmaid's Tale dresses
We are the reason this was our last election
We are not good Christians because we supported a felon and rapist

This asshole went after me in 2020 for supporting Trump and I haven't spoken to him or engaged him since and it looks like I'll be keeping it that way!

These people aren't ever going to be reasoned with and aren't worth saving

These people don't hate President Trump.

They hate the democrat strawman Trump.

They really don't know the real President Trump.

The rabid dems have been spewing vitriolic lies about PDJT for so long, and the clueless Kool Aid drinkers believe every word of it. So they probably ly BELIEVE all this nonsense, that he will eradicate womens rights, put trans and says in concentration camps, and eliminate future elections, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE dems HAVE TOLD THEM WOULD HAPPEN.

And we are all racist misogynistic xenophobic hateful nazis, because who else could support such a monster?

The msm has done incredible damage to this country, and we can only expect them to increase their lies and fake news in the years to come.
