Democrats would need to win all of the 12 remaining races to retain control.
There are seven uncalled House races in California, the most populous state in the country. Counting there could take weeks because the official canvass is not due for a month after Election Day.
Two races are still too close to call in Colorado, including in the 3rd District where Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert is in a surprisingly tight race leading by just over 1,000 votes with about 99% of ballots in.
Alaska and Maine still have one race each to call. Both states use a ranked-choice voting system.
