The majority in the House of Representatives appears within reach for Republicans, who have already gained control of the Senate and the White House.

Associated Press race projections show Republicans holding 211 seats, compared to Democrats’ 199 seats on Friday morning.

A total of five incumbent lawmakers in the House of Representatives are expected to lose their re-election bids so far: three Republicans and two Democrats.

Several races involving Republican incumbents in California are still too close and will likely be crucial for the majority in the House of Representatives.

Republicans in three Arizona districts, as well as Republican lawmakers in Nebraska, Iowa and Oregon, are also still awaiting outcome projections.

Whichever party wins 218 seats first will retain the majority in the House of Representatives in the 119th Congress.

Republican leaders in the House of Representatives have touted confidence in their eventual victory, with the top four leaders in the House of Representatives already formally announcing their bid to retain the same seat in the House of Representatives in January.

“It looks like we’re going to keep the House of Representatives and flip the Senate,” House Majority Leader Steve Scalise told Fox News Digital on Wednesday night. “California is still the most important state. You know, in a lot of those close races, our incumbents are leading – by small margins, but we knew there would be small margins.”

It’s a far cry from Democrats in the House of Representatives, whose hopes of winning the majority are rapidly diminishing. Multiple sources told Fox News Digital on Wednesday that Democrats are bracing for Republicans to gain full control of Congress and the White House.

However, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries pointed out that a Republican victory is not a foregone conclusion.

“It has yet to be decided who will control the House of Representatives in the 119th Congress. We must count every vote and wait for the results in Oregon, Arizona and California to be clear,” Jeffries said in a statement also congratulating the president-elect. Trump.
