Republicans Near House Majority with Key Races Unresolved

Republicans are nearing control of both chambers of Congress, with 214 seats secured in the House and needing four more to clinch a majority. Seventeen races remain undecided, with a significant number in California. The Senate currently has 53 Republican seats, with the final decision pending in Arizona. Meanwhile, Republicans are set to vote on a new majority leader, with John Cornyn, John Thune, and Rick Scott as potential candidates. Despite public endorsements for Scott, private sentiments suggest he may not secure enough votes.
