The elections in the House of Representatives will remain a tough fight until the end, with neither party having a dominant path to a majority. Rarely, if ever, have the two chambers of Congress moved in opposite directions.

Each side gains and loses a few seats, including through the redistricting process, which is the routine redrawing of House seat boundaries. The process reset seats in North Carolina, Louisiana and Alabama.

Much of the outcome depends on the West, particularly in California, where a handful of House seats are closely contested and mail-in ballots received a week after the election continue to be counted. Among other things, there are hard-fought races around the “blue dot” in Omaha, Nebraska and as far away as Alaska.
