California's Pivotal Role in Deciding Congressional Control

The Democratic Party's hopes of regaining a House majority hinge on a few key races in California, where slow ballot counting is delaying results. Despite flipping two GOP seats in New York, Democrats face challenges after Republicans ousted two Democratic incumbents in Pennsylvania. The GOP currently holds a narrow majority and is optimistic about retaining control, while Democrats see potential pick-up opportunities in several states, including California. The outcome remains uncertain as many races are too close to call, with a significant number of ballots still uncounted.
