House election forecast flips to GOP as Democrats hold on to their last hope

Salon  

After an election night collapse in both the presidential election and key Senate races, Democrats are looking to the House as their last hope. In the House, Democrats posted good results in New York, where they lost key seats in 2022, flipping the state’s 22nd District, where Democrat John Mannion defeated Rep. Brandon Williams, and 19th District, where Democrat Josh Riley unseated Rep. Marc Molinaro. Likewise, Democrats fell short in their attempts to flip Rep. Nick LaLota's seat in New York’s First District on Long Island, and Rep. Mike Lawler's seat in the state’s 17th District in the Hudson Valley. Republicans did get a good sign Wednesday morning, however, when California’s Third District was called for incumbent Republican Rep. Kevin Kiley. Republicans managed to flip the competitive Seventh District, where Republican Tom Barrett was victorious, and lead in the 10th District, where Rep. John James appears likely to hold on, though the race has not yet been called.
