California's Tight House Races Could Sway Republican Majority
Democrats aim to flip key districts as GOP holds a slim lead in the House.
- In California's 45th District, Democrat Derek Tran leads Republican Michelle Steel by just 36 votes with 94% of ballots counted.
- District 13 sees Republican John Duarte narrowly ahead of Democrat Adam Gray, with only a 1% difference and 86% of votes tallied.
- These races are among the five uncalled House contests that could impact the size of the Republican majority, which currently stands at 218 seats.
- President-elect Trump's Cabinet picks include three House Republicans, potentially leading to vacancies and special elections.
- The Democratic win in California's 27th District marked the first GOP seat flip in the state this election cycle.
