Five races in the House of Representatives remain uncalled as of Sunday, with Republicans looking to expand their slim majority.
Republicans are pushing to expand their slim majority in the House of Representatives as the final handful of undecided races near their conclusion. Five House races remain uncalled as of Sunday morning. The balance of power currently sits at 218 seats for Republicans, and 212 for the Democrats. Alaska At-large district Democratic incumbent Rep. Mary Sattler Peltola is in a tight race in Alaska’s at-large congressional district, where she is trailing Republican entrepreneur Nick Begich.
5th Congressional District Democratic challenger Derek Tran has taken the lead over Republican incumbent Rep. Michelle Steel in the 45th District. Steel had been in the lead by a few hundred votes late last week, but Tran now has a razor-thin 36-vote lead. Roughly 94% of the vote has been counted for the district. Iowa 1st Congressional District Republican incumbent Rep. Mariannet Miller-Meeks holds a less than 1% lead over challenger Christina Bohannan with 99% of the vote counted.
Bohannan has requested a recount in her bid to unseat Miller-Meeks. The Associated Press has not yet called the race because the margin was close enough that it could prompt a recount. Miller-Meeks has declared victory and said she was confident in her lead. Ohio 9th Congressional District Democratic incumbent Marcy Kaptur leads her Republican challenger, Derek Merrin, by less than 1 point with 99% of the votes counted. Kaptur's lead sits at just over 1,000 votes as of Sunday morning.
Races with a margin of 0.5% or less trigger an automatic recount in Ohio. Fox News' Chris Pandolfo and Jasmine Baehr and the Associated Press contributed to this report.
