Democrats are increasingly concerned that they will narrowly lose the House of Representatives after Republican victories in the Senate and the White House.

The balance of power in the House of Representatives is expected to be razor-thin regardless of who wins, but sources who spoke to Fox News Digital are concerned that the Democrats’ path is narrowing.

“We’re almost certainly going to lose the House of Representatives by a narrow margin,” a senior Democratic House official told Fox News Digital. “We kicked our a–es.”

The House aide, however, found optimism in Republicans’ relatively decisive victories in the Senate and in the presidential race.

“If you told me that President-elect Trump won the popular vote, dominated the Electoral College and that they could end up with 56 seats in the Senate, then this House map really isn’t that bad,” they said.

A person familiar with the House campaigns told Fox News Digital, “If last night is any indication of how the House will turn, I’m not confident. The American people are clearly not buying what we’re selling.”

“I honestly think it’s about the economy,” the second source said. “People feel like they can have more in their bank account.”

Republicans were ahead of Democrats early Wednesday afternoon with nearly 20 projected race victories, according to The Associated Press.

The winning party must win 218 of the 435 House races to control the House, and there are those on the Democratic side who are still hopeful but recognize that the margins would be slim.

“I think Democrats are still hopeful… there is an opportunity to get some chances to get a narrow majority,” longtime Democratic strategist Joel Rubin told Fox News Digital.

Rubin pointed to tossing seats in California and New York that remain uncalled and are currently held by Republican incumbents, as well as an open seat in Maryland that Democrats are fighting for.

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York also remained hopeful Wednesday afternoon.

“As a result of the enduring strength of our battle-tested incumbents, critical open seats in Virginia and Michigan, victories in Alabama and Louisiana, and the flipping of four Republican seats in New York this year, the House of Representatives continues to play a major role to play. Jeffries said in a statement.

“The path to regaining the majority now runs through too close to call opportunities in Arizona, Oregon and Iowa – along with several Democratic-leaning districts in Southern California and the Central Valley.”

Jeffries, who will likely become speaker of the House of Representatives if Democrats win, vowed that his group would “continue to govern with common sense and conviction.”

Democrats are poised to dethrone two Republican incumbents — New York Reps. Marc Molinaro and Brandon Williams — yet in their quest for the majority.

Meanwhile, Republicans are expected to take control of the open Michigan seat vacated by Democratic Rep. Elissa Slotkin. Representatives Matt Cartwright and Susan Wild, vulnerable Democrats in Pennsylvania, conceded their races to their respective Republican challengers.

At the presidential level, Democrats – including those in the House of Representatives – have already started pointing fingers.

Rep. Ritchie Torres, a pragmatic Democrat from New York, blamed the “far left” for the loss of Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Donald Trump has no bigger friend than the far left, which has managed to alienate historic numbers of Latinos, blacks, Asians and Jews from the Democratic Party with absurdities like ‘Defund the Police’ or ‘From the River to the Sea’ or ‘Latinx ‘, Torres wrote on X.

“The working class doesn’t buy the ivory tower nonsense that the far left sells.”
