Senate showdown: Close races decide control

Election Day 2024: Watch Congressional Elections

Election Day is here, and while the focus is on the race for the White House, the congressional elections are important too. Laura Tamman, a professor of political science at Pace University, breaks down these crucial congressional elections.

House race: Key districts up for grabs

With all 435 seats in the House up for vote, a few hotly contested districts could determine control. Democrats want to flip four seats to take back the House of Representatives, while Republicans are trying to expand their majority. Key races include California's Central Valley, Arizona's 1st District and Maine's 2nd District, where incumbents are running against well-financed challengers in swing districts.

Notable contests include Democratic incumbent Jared Golden in Trump-won Maine and Rep. Matt Cartwright in Pennsylvania's 8th District, a key battleground. These districts will be crucial when results are announced and can determine the balance of power in the House of Representatives.
