Midterm Count Update: Democrats at 256 House Seats and at Least 55 Senate Seats, With 10 House Races Still Uncalled
By the Associated Press count as of 12:01 a.m. Eastern on Saturday, November 14, Democrats have won 256 of the 435 seats in the House of Representatives and Republicans have won 169, with 10 seats still to be called. In the Senate, Democrats flipped eight Republican-held seats and will hold at least 55 of the 100 seats in the new Senate, counting the two independents who caucus with them. Alaska's Senate race is still being counted.
The Senate race in Mississippi was called by the AP on November 11 for Democratic candidate Scott Colom. He leads Republican incumbent Cindy Hyde-Smith 479,404 to 471,817, or 49.3 percent to 48.6 percent, with about 99 percent of the expected vote counted. Mississippi has no recount process for this race; counties must submit certified results by Friday, and the Secretary of State is scheduled to declare the results on December 3.
Democrats also took six governorships from Republicans: Alaska, Georgia, Iowa, Nevada, Ohio and Texas. In Kansas, the AP called the governor's race on November 12 for Democrat Cindy Holscher, who leads Republican Ty Masterson 552,328 to 545,128, or 50.33 percent to 49.67 percent.
The new Congress takes office on January 3, 2027. The remaining uncalled races will be settled as the AP calls them and states certify their counts.
