Kelly Wins Reelection in Arizona; Battle for Congress as of November 12

As of midday Saturday, November 12, control of each chamber of Congress remains undecided. 

U.S. Senate

Sen. Mark Kelly has won reelection in Arizona, bringing Democrats to the doorstep of retaining control of the Senate. Each party now sits at 49 seats, with Nevada and Georgia remaining. The Georgia race is going to a December 6 runoff. As Democrats maintain control at 50 seats - VP Kamala Harris can break ties - this means that Republicans cannot gain control prior to the runoff. 

Pennsylvania is the only Senate seat that has flipped thus far. In Alaska, we know a Republican will win, but we won't know which one until November 23

U.S. House

Our results provider Decision Desk has called 408 House races. Republicans have won 210 seats, Democrats 198. 

There are four uncalled races in California where both candidates on the ballot are Democrats. That will bring the Democratic total to 202.  

To keep control, Democrats must win at least 16 of the 23 remaining races. Follow the live results below. We've also highlighted a few cases where either the Associated Press or ABC News has made a race call not yet made by Decision Desk.

Alaska: This is expected to be decided in the Ranked Choice tabulation on November 23.

Arizona: Redistricting made this seat more competitive by expanding it into more of Phoenix.  

California: A number of these races will not end up being all that close, but the state's drawn-out process for counting also impacts when these races can be projected with the level of certainty required.

ABC has called Districts 6 and 26 for Democrats Ami Bera and Julia Brownley, respectively. Both ABC and the Associated Press have called District 39 for Democrat Mark Takano. 

Colorado: One of the most highly visible contests left on the board, as polarizing GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert seeks a second term.

Maine: This is expected to decided via Ranked Choice tabulation this Tuesday, November 15.

New York: Both ABC and the Associated Press have called District 4 and District 19 for Republicans Anthony D'Esposito and Marcus Molinaro, respectively.

Oregon: These are both open seats. District 6 is a new seat from redistricting, while District 5 incumbent Democrat Kurt Schrader lost his primary to a more progressive candidate.

Washington: Open seat after Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler was ousted by Joe Kent in GOP primary.
