Hot House Races

State of Play

  • 11 races — all now held by Republicans — are highly competitive.
  • One race, Virginia CD 10, now leans toward a Democratic flip; the other 10 are toss-ups.
  • 21 Republican-held seats are potentially competitive and could possibly flip in the event of a Democratic wave, though Republicans are current favored in all of these seats.
  • No Democrat-held seat is currently in danger of flipping to the GOP.

Possible Change: Democrats can pick up between 1 and 32 seats; if Democrats win half of the toss-up races, their net gain is 6 seats; if they win all of them, their net gain would be 11.

Democrats need to win 24 seats nationally to take control of the House.
