Republicans Win House Seats in Key Races
The GOP held its majority as Republicans retained control of the U.S. House with several seats held by Democrats flipping in close races. Notable outcomes included Democrat David Price defeating Republican David Funderburk in North Carolina and Democrat William Pascrell defeating freshman Bill Martini in New Jersey. Other gains and losses across the South and Midwest shaped a tightly contested election with exit polls showing a near even split nationwide.
