Former President Donald Trump has clinched a second term in the White House, and his Republican Party has won control of the Senate. But control of the House of Representatives is still up for grabs, as is the size of the incoming Senate majority.With votes still being counted, here’s a look at the key races that remain uncalled by the NBC News Decision Desk (read more about how those races are called). While some of the battleground states may be projected relatively quickly, it could take days or even weeks to resolve control of the House.Presidential battlegroundsWith Trump’s victory in Michigan projected by NBC News Wednesday afternoon, two battleground states remain uncalled.In the Sun Belt, Trump is also leading in Arizona and Nevada, but Arizona remains too early to call, while Nevada is too close to call.Alaska, where Trump is leading, is also too early to call.Senate races left to callArizona Senate: Democratic Rep. Ruben Gallego is leading Republican Kari Lake in the vote count, but the race is still too early to call. Lake is trailing Trump’s margin in the state, while Gallego is outperforming Harris. Gallego, a Marine veteran, touted his military service in his race against Lake, a former local TV news anchor. Lake ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2022, and she made false claims that her 2022 race was affected by voter fraud.Michigan Senate: GOP former Rep. Mike Rogers is locked in a tight race against Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin in a contest that is too close to call. Rogers and Slotkin are competing to replace retiring Democratic Sen. Debbie Stabenow.Nevada Senate: Republican Sam Brown, a military veteran who was wounded in combat, is in a very tight race against Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen, who is seeking her second term in the Senate. Nevada has been narrowly divided in recent elections, with Republican Joe Lombardo flipping the Governor’s Mansion in 2022 even while Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto won re-election. But while Democrats had been hopeful that the state’s abortion referendum could help boost turnout for Democratic candidates, the margin in the race remains extremely tight.Pennsylvania Senate: Although Trump is projected to win Pennsylvania, the Senate race there is still too close to call. Democratic Sen. Bob Casey is running for a third term against Republican Dave McCormick, a former hedge fund CEO who ran unsuccessfully for the GOP Senate nomination in 2022.Wisconsin Senate: The race between Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin and GOP businessman Eric Hovde remains too close to call. While Democrats have touted Baldwin as a senator who has appeal in rural parts of the state, Republicans also flooded the airwaves painting her as a creature of Washington and making note of the first openly gay senator’s sexual orientation.House control on the lineControl of the House is still unclear in part because dozens of competitive races remain uncalled, including a number of key races in California alone. There are also other races that are not expected to be competitive but have not yet been projected because few votes have been counted.Alaska At-Large District: Republicans are looking to pick up this seat, which encompasses the entire state. Republican Nick Begich is leading Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola, but he is hovering around the 50% threshold required to win the race outright. If he falls short of that threshold, the race will head to ranked-choice voting, but Republicans are confident they would still carry the seat in that scenario.Arizona’s 1st District: GOP Rep. David Schweikert is in a competitive race in the Phoenix suburbs against Democrat Amish Shah, a former state legislator.Arizona 6th District: GOP Rep. Juan Ciscomani is trailing his Democratic opponent, former state Sen. Kirsten Engel, in this competitive district in the Tucson suburbs.California’s 9th District: Democratic Rep. Josh Harder is narrowly leading his Republican opponent, Stockton Mayor Kevin Lincoln.California’s 13th District: GOP Rep. John Duarte is locked in a tight race against Democrat Adam Gray, a former state legislator, in this Central Valley district.California’s 22nd District: GOP Rep. David Valadao, one of two remaining House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, is leading his Democratic opponent, former state Assemblyman Rudy Salas.California’s 27th District: GOP Rep. Mike Garcia is in a tight race against Democrat George Whitesides, a former NASA chief of staff and Virgin Galactic CEO, in this Southern California district.California’s 41st District: Democrats have targeted this Riverside County-based district, and GOP Rep. Ken Calvert is in a competitive race with Democrat Will Rollins, a former prosecutor.California’s 45th District: GOP Rep. Michelle Steel is leading Democratic Army veteran Derek Tran in one of the most expensive races in the country.California’s 47th District: Republicans are looking to flip this open seat in Southern California, and Republican Scott Baugh, a former state legislator, is in a competitive race against former state Sen. Dave Min.California’s 49th District: Also in Southern California, Democratic Rep. Mike Levin is in a tight race against auto dealer Matt Gunderson, a self-described “pro-choice” Republican.Colorado’s 3rd District: GOP Rep. Lauren Boebert’s decision to run in the neighboring 4th District, which is more Republican, opened up this seat on the Western Slope. Democrat Adam Frisch, who came close to defeating Boebert in 2022, is in a competitive race against Republican Jeff Hurd.Colorado’s 8th District: Democratic Rep. Yadira Caraveo is locked in a tight race in the Denver suburbs against Republican state Rep. Gabe Evans.Iowa’s 1st District: Just a few hundred votes separate Republican Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Democrat Christina Bohannan, a former state representative. It is familiar territory for Miller-Meeks, who won her 2020 race by just six votes.Maine’s 2nd District: Democratic Rep. Jared Golden has been a top GOP target, and he is hovering just above the 50% threshold that would allow him to win outright over Republican state Rep. Austin Theriault, a former NASCAR driver (the state holds ranked-choice elections).Maryland’s 6th District: Democratic Rep. David Trone’s unsuccessful Senate run opened up this Frederick-based district. Democrat April McClain Delaney, a former Commerce Department official and the wife of former Rep. John Delaney, is locked in a tight race against Republican Neil Parrott, a former state legislator.Montana 1st District: Democratic attorney Monica Tranel trails Republican Rep. Ryan Zinke, who was Trump’s first interior secretary in between stints in the House.Nebraska’s 2nd District: Harris carried this Omaha-based district and nabbed one of the state’s electoral votes, but GOP Rep. Don Bacon is in a close race against Democratic state Sen. Tony Vargas.North Carolina’s 1st District: Democratic Rep. Don Davis is in a competitive race against Republican Laurie Buckhout, an Army veteran and businesswoman.Nevada’s 3rd District: Democratic Rep. Susie Lee is in a competitive race with Republican marketing consultant Drew Johnson in the Las Vegas suburbs.Nevada’s 4th District: Democratic Rep. Steven Horsford is leading former North Las Vegas Mayor John Lee, the Republican nominee.New York’s 4th District: GOP Rep. Anthony D’Esposito is locked in a tight race against Democrat Laura Gillen, a former town supervisor, in this Long Island-based district that was one of Democrats’ top targets.New York’s 19th District: Democratic attorney Josh Riley and GOP Rep. Marc Molinaro are running neck and neck in a rematch of their close 2022 race.Ohio’s 9th District: Democratic Rep. Marcy Kaptur is locked in an extremely tight race with GOP state Rep. Derek Merrin.Oregon’s 5th District: Democrat Janelle Bynum narrowly leads Republican Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer.Oregon’s 6th District: Democratic Rep. Andrea Salinas leads GOP businessman Mike Erickson in another rematch. Salinas beat Erickson by 3 percentage points in 2022.Pennsylvania’s 10th District: GOP Rep. Scott Perry, a former Freedom Caucus chairman, has a slight lead over former local news anchor Janelle Stelson, a Democrat.Texas’ 34th District: Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez faces a rematch against former GOP Rep. Mayra Flores, with Gonzalez slightly ahead.Virginia’s 7th District: Democrat Eugene Vindman has a slight lead over Republican Derrick Anderson. Both candidates are veterans, and Vindman came into the public spotlight in 2019 when his brother, Alexander Vindman, testified in Trump’s impeachment hearings about a phone call between Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.Washington’s 3rd District: Democratic Rep. Marie Gluesenkamp Perez leads Republican Joe Kent, whom she defeated by less than 1 point in 2022.Washington’s 4th District: Republican Rep. Dan Newhouse narrowly leads Republican former NASCAR driver Jerrod Sessler. (Washington’s primary advances the top two vote-getters to the general election, regardless of party.)Sessler has Trump’s endorsement over Newhouse, who is one of the two Republicans left in the House who voted to impeach Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.This story first appeared on NBCNews.com.

Embedded Content UPDATE: Tuesday, Aug 6, 2024 · 10:26:12 PM +00:00 · Stephen Wolf • TN-05: NewsChanel 5's Phil Williams reports that the FBI executed a search warrant on Republican Rep. Andy Ogles last week, though neither the FBI nor Ogles' attorney would confirm or deny the search and what it involved. Williams, whose previous reporting revealed how Ogles seemingly had fabricated large parts of his life story and submitted fraudulent campaign finance reports, relays that the search may have been related to the latter issue and involved the congressman's electronic devices.Williams notes that the Department of Justice generally avoids openly investigating candidates within 60 days of Election Day so as not to influence the results, and the search happened the very next day after Ogles won Thursday's primary by 57-43 over Metro Nashville Councilmember Courtney Johnston.Back in May, Ogles drew unwelcome attention after he dramatically amended his 2022 campaign finance reports to say he loaned his effort $20,000, rather than the $320,000 he'd previously claimed. Williams previously pointed out that the congressman's personal financial disclosures showed he lacked the wealth to make a loan of that size. (On those forms, Ogles did not even list any bank accounts.)Those inflated figures allowed Ogles to claim he had considerably more money available three weeks before the primary than the paltry $2,000 he now says he had in the bank, and that exaggerated war chest may have convinced outside group allies like the Club for Growth that he was in stronger shape than he was. While Ogles would likely still be favored to win this fall in a heavily gerrymandered district that backed Trump 55-43 in 2020, it remains to be seen how much legal jeopardy he may be in. UPDATE: Tuesday, Aug 6, 2024 · 9:05:48 PM +00:00 · Stephen Wolf • DE-Gov: A group called Change Can't Wait PAC has launched a new TV ad ahead of the Sept. 10 Democratic primary that praises New Castle County Executive Matt Meyer's healthcare plan and his support for abortion rights. While federal law prevents this type of organization from running ads directly telling viewers to vote for or against a candidate, Delaware Spotlight's Karl Baker reports that some of Meyer's supporters are behind it.• CA-16: Assemblyman Evan Low has publicized a Tulchin Research survey that finds former San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo, a fellow Democrat, leading him just 30-29 with a 41% plurality of voters undecided in this dark blue open seat. Last month, Liccardo's campaign shared a late-June internal from Lake Research Partners that showed him ahead 39-28, and no other polls have recently surfaced here.• FL-13: EMILYs List has endorsed former Pinellas County transportation official Whitney Fox with just two weeks left until the Aug. 20 primary for the Democratic nomination to take on freshman Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna. This seat in the St. Petersburg area, which Republicans gerrymandered following the 2020 census, favored Donald Trump by a 53-46 margin four years ago.• MN-02: Despite saying last month that he was suspending his House campaign to serve as an adviser to Donald Trump's campaign, attorney Tayler Rahm has still been sending campaign mailers. The Star Tribune's Sydney Kashiwagi reports that Rahm appears to be engaged in a "shadow primary" campaign against former federal prosecutor Joe Teirab, who has the support of Donald Trump and House GOP leadership in the Aug. 13 GOP primary.While Rahm himself again declared last week that he had suspended his effort, 2nd District GOP chair Joe Ditto told Kashiwagi he believed that Rahm still could pull off an upset next week. "It sounds like if [Rahm’s] victorious in the primary, he will unsuspend his campaign and run against Angie in the general," said Ditto. • NV-02: Democratic Sen. Jacky Rosen has endorsed wealthy investor Greg Kidd, a self-funding independent who is challenging Republican Rep. Mark Amodei in a race where Democrats did not field a candidate. Trump won this northern Nevada district 54-43, and while Democrats have not seriously contested it since Amodei's initial landslide in a 2011 special election, Kidd's lack of a party label could give him more of an opening.• TX-18: Former Houston Councilmember Dwight Boykins has ended his campaign for the Democratic nomination to replace the late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee after her children endorsed former Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner, with Boykins saying, "I respect their decision." Local party precinct chairs are set to meet on Aug. 13 to choose a replacement nominee for November's ballot in this dark blue seat.

Tim Walz as her running mate on Tuesday, a decision that could usher in a new era of leadership in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.Democratic Lt. Gov. Peggy Flanagan would become Minnesota's new chief executive should the Harris-Walz ticket prevail in November, an ascension that would make her the first woman to lead the state. Flanagan, a member of the White Earth Band of Ojibwe, would also be the first Native American woman to serve as governor of any state. No matter what, though, this office will next be on the ballot in 2026 for a full four-year term.Walz, writes KARE 11's Jeremiah Jacobsen, would be the state's first governor to resign since 1976, when Sen. Walter Mondale's election as Jimmy Carter's vice president set off a volatile chain of events back home that proved disastrous for Democrats.Following Mondale's departure for Washington, Democratic Gov. Wendell Anderson stepped down from his post and arranged for his lieutenant governor, Rudy Perpich, to appoint him to Mondale's Senate seat. These insider dealings, however, backfired with voters, leading to the "Minnesota massacre" of 1978: Republican Rudy Boschwitz trounced Anderson in the race for Senate while Republican Al Quie unseated Perpich as governor.Walz's succession would be a far simpler affair, but there's also the matter of who would replace Flanagan in her current role. State constitutional law expert Quinn Yeargain explains in Guaranteed Republics that the next person in line to become lieutenant governor is the president of the state Senate, a post that's held by Democrat Bobby Joe Champion. Should Champion succeed Flanagan, he, too, would make history, as the first Black person to serve as Minnesota's lieutenant governor.There's a potential hitch, though. The 67-member Senate is currently tied because Democratic state Sen. Kelly Morrison, who is the favorite to replace retiring Rep. Dean Phillips in Congress, resigned in July so that a special election could be held simultaneously with the November general election. The rest of the Senate, however, isn't up for election again until 2026, so this one race will determine who controls the upper chamber next year.Fortunately for Democrats, Morrison's 45th District, which is based in the Minneapolis suburbs, will be tough for the GOP to flip, especially now that Walz is on the national ticket. This constituency supported Joe Biden by a 57-41 margin in 2020, according to VEST data from Dave's Redistricting App, while the Walz-Flanagan team scored an identical win two years later. Three Democrats are competing in the Aug. 13 primary; the winner will face Republican Kathleen Fowke, who lost to Morrison 56-44 in 2022.But even if Republicans were to pull off an upset in this special election at the same time Harris and Walz prevail in the Electoral College, Yeargain writes that it's possible that Walz could time his resignation to ensure that Champion still becomes lieutenant governor.That would be a far better outcome for Democrats than the last time the number two slot became vacant. When then-Gov. Mark Dayton selected Lt. Gov Tina Smith to fill Al Franken's Senate seat after he resigned in early 2018, the GOP had control of the state Senate. As a result, Republican Michelle Fischbach was elevated to the lieutenant governorship and served for a year before waging a successful bid for Congress in 2020.Looking ahead, because Minnesota does not have term limits, whoever is governor—whether that's Walz or Flanagan—will be able to run in 2026. Voters, however, have never awarded an incumbent three consecutive terms. The last to try was Perpich, who staged a successful comeback in 1982 and won two full terms. But when he sought a third straight in 1990, he lost a close and chaotic battle to Republican Arne Carlson.Republican Tim Pawlenty tried to win a third non-consecutive term in 2018, nearly a decade after retiring to prepare for what would be a doomed presidential campaign. But primary voters passed him over in favor of Hennepin County Commissioner Jeff Johnson, who went on to badly lose the general election to none other than Walz.
