Nearly a week after polls closed across the nation, the party that will control the U.S. House of Representatives next year is one of the few uncertainties left following the 2024 election. 

After swiftly securing the White House and a majority in the Senate, Republicans are staring down the possibility of former president and now President-elect Donald Trump’s second term in office starting with the party in unified control of Washington. 

While the GOP appears to have more than a solid chance of keeping its slight edge in Congress’ lower chamber, there are still 17 races around the country that have not been called, according to the Associated Press. 

As of Monday, the outlet has declared Republicans the winners of 214 seats to Democrats’ 204. Either party needs to secure 218 seats to hold the slimmest of majorities and the remaining 17 will determine which one is pushed over the edge. 

Of the 17 uncalled races, most are in states out west, including California, Arizona, Washington and Colorado, where the percentage of votes that still need to be counted remains fairly high. A few other races across the country -- including ones in Ohio and Maine -- are too close to call despite the percentage of ballots counted sitting at nearly 100%. 

In nine of the uncalled races, a Democratic candidate is currently leading, while the Republican is leading in eight, according to the AP.

Here are where the uncalled races stand one week after Election Day:

California has more uncalled races than any other state, due partly to the sheer number of districts it houses and its slow pace of vote counting. But the Golden State – despite its stature as a deep blue enclave on the national and statewide level – is also home to a handful of ultra-competitive districts that helped determine control of the lower chamber in the 2022 midterms. There are 10 races in the state in which the winner has yet to be determined. 

In Congressional District 9, Democratic incumbent Rep. Josh Harder holds a 2.4% edge over Republican challenger Kevin Lincoln with 64% of the vote counted. 

In an unexpectedly razor-tight race in the state’s 21st Congressional District, Democratic incumbent Rep. Jim Costa, who has spent two decades in the House, leads his GOP challenger Michael Maher by just one percentage point with 66% of the votes in.

In the 39th District, Democratic incumbent Rep. Mark Takano holds a more than 12-point lead over Republican David Serpa with 70% of the vote counted. 

Another Democratic incumbent currently holding onto his lead is Rep. Mark Levin in the 49th District, who is sitting 3.4 percentage points above Republican Matt Gunderson with 77% of the ballots counted. 

Democrat Dave Min is also leading Republican Scott Baugh by just one percentage point in the battle for the seat being vacated by Democratic Rep. Katie Porter. Eighty percent of the ballots have been counted in the open race for the 47th District. 

In the state’s 27th District, Republican incumbent Rep. Mike Garcia is trailing his Democratic challenger George Whitesides by 1.8% with 80% of the vote counted. 

Meanwhile, Republican incumbent Rep. John Duarte is leading his Democratic challenger Adam Gray by 2.5 percentage points in the state’s 13th Congressional District with 61% of the vote counted. 

Another Republican incumbent, Rep. David Valadao, holds a more than seven-point edge in a rematch against Democratic challenger Rudy Salas with 77% of the vote counted in the state’s 22nd Congressional District. 

In the 41st District, Republican incumbent Rep. Ken Calvert holds a 2.4% advantage over Democratic challenger Will Rollins with 70% of the vote in. 

Republican incumbent Rep. Michelle Steel holds a 2.2% lead over Democrat Derek Tran in the state’s 45th District with 80% of the ballots counted. 

In Oregon, meanwhile, Republican incumbent Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer is sitting behind Democratic challenger Janelle Bynum by 2.8% with 87% of the vote counted. 

The uncalled race in Washington is guaranteed to be held by the GOP either way as both candidates in the general election are Republicans, something that is possible by the state’s “jungle primary” system. This race, therefore, is already counted toward the total seats the GOP has secured. In the state’s 4th Congressional District, incumbent Rep. Dan Newhouse, one of only two House Republicans who voted to impeach Trump for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack who is still in Congress, is leading fellow Republican Jerrod Sessler by more than five percentage points with 84% of the vote in. 

In Arizona, first-term Republican Rep. Juan Ciscomani is currently edging out Democratic challenger Kirsten Engel by 0.6% with 83% of the vote counted. 

In Colorado, the Democratic incumbent, Rep. Yadira Caraveo is sitting 0.8 percentage points behind Republican challenger Gabe Evans with 96% of the vote in. 

In Alaska, another Democratic incumbent Rep. Mary Peltola, meanwhile, is trailing Republican Nick Begich by four points with 80% of the vote counted. 

In the Midwest, Republican incumbent Rep. Mariannet Miller-Meeks leads Democratic challenger Christina Bohannan by 0.2% for Iowa’s 1st Congressional District with 99% of the vote counted. 

Democratic incumbent Rep. Marcy Kaptur is locked in a razor-thin match-up with Republican Derek Merrin for Ohio’s 9th Congressional District. Currently, Kaptur is leading by 0.3% with 99% of ballots counted. 

Another Democratic incumbent, this time Maine Rep. Jared Golden, is hanging on against Republican challenger Austin Theriault by 0.1% with 98% of the vote counted. 

The Associated Press called Louisiana's 6th Congressional District for Democrat Cleo Fields on Monday.
