Three Key Races to Define GOP's Slim House Majority
TL;DR Summary
The Republican Party's narrow majority in the U.S. House of Representatives is being shaped by three undecided races in California and Iowa, as well as the departure of some GOP members to join President-elect Donald Trump's administration. With Republicans holding 219 seats to Democrats' 213, the outcomes of these races will determine the size of the majority. Special elections will be needed to fill seats vacated by members joining Trump's team, adding further complexity to the GOP's slim control in the House.
