2024 House Of Representatives Election Results Map

The 2024 House of Representatives elections are underway, with all 435 seats up for grabs. The outcome of these elections will significantly impact the balance of power in Congress and the incoming President’s ability to pass legislation. As of the latest updates, Republicans currently hold a narrow majority with 220 seats, while Democrats have 212 seats, and there are three vacancies.

The Democrats need to pick up just four additional seats to gain control of the House. However, this task is complicated by the competitive nature of about 40 races, with 22 of these considered toss-ups by the Cook Political Report. Among these, 10 are held by Democrats and 12 by Republicans. Redrawn congressional maps in states like North Carolina, Louisiana, and Alabama are also influencing the outcomes, with some districts leaning more towards one party than the other.

New York is a critical state in this election, with seven swing districts that could determine the control of the House. Republicans currently hold five of these districts, while Democrats control two. Key races include the 17th Congressional District, where Democratic former Rep. Mondaire Jones is challenging Republican Rep. Mike Lawler, and the 19th Congressional District, where Republican Rep. Marc Molinaro is facing Democrat Josh Riley in what has become the most expensive congressional race in the country.

The current House has seen significant instability, particularly within the Republican Party. The removal of former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy in 2023 and the subsequent challenges faced by his successor, Speaker Mike Johnson, highlight the internal divisions and the reliance on Democratic votes to pass legislation.

The live results are being closely monitored, with updates provided by news outlets such as NBC News, CBS News, and TIME. These updates include maps and analyses of the voting outcomes by state and district, offering a comprehensive view of the evolving political landscape.
