In the on-going House race count Republicans maintain their edge with 211 seats (just seven short of majority control) while 24 districts still count final ballots
The political landscape shifted when Democrats managed to grab two key wins in NY state: Laura Gillen defeated incumbent Anthony DʼEsposito in Long Islandʼs suburban area; while Josh Riley beat Marc Molinaro in the states mountain region. However Don Bacon‚ a middle-ground Republican kept his Omaha seat despite strong push from Tony Vargas
Republicans already got Senate majority which helps with Donald Trumpʼs future plans: they can now ok his picks for important jobs and court seats. In remaining Senate fights Jacky Rosen leads by small margin in Nevada; while Ruben Gallego holds tiny advantage against Kari Lake in AZ
If Republicans win House control‚ theyʼll push for these changes:
- Lower taxes across-the-board
- Less rules for energy companies
- Stronger border control measures
Democrats need to win 18 of 24 remaining seats to block these plans - their best chances are in NY and CA districts where vote-counting isnt done yet
