Democrats have a chance to take control of the House after flipping some seats, but the majority party of the chamber is still up in the air.
With Democrats losing the Senate and the White House, winning the House majority would be a substantial victory. It would block Republicans from carrying out much of their legislative agenda and give Democrats tools to investigate Donald Trump’s administration.
As of Wednesday morning, 195 House races had been called for Republicans and 174 for Democrats — but many of the remaining races are easy victories. The majority party needs at least 218 seats.

A number of seats pending are in California, where Democrats could flip a number of districts. But the state could take days to fully count its ballots.
