2:55 a.m. – Major networks seem to be waiting, but Ace of Spades HQ Decision Desk has called Nevada’s 4th District for Republican Cresent Hardy over Democratic incumbent Steven Horsford. If that result holds, it will be a significant upset for Republicans.

As the numbers currently stand, Republicans would have 246 seats and Democrats would have 181, with eight races still undecided.

Precincts will continue to count overnight in several close races, and Republicans could further expand their margin, so keep an eye on Arizona’s 2nd, where, with 70 percent reporting, Republican Martha McSally is only 200 votes behind Democratic incumbent Ron Barber.

Also, in California’s 16th, Republican Johnny Tacherra could unseat Democratic incumbent Jim Costa. With 71 percent reporting, Tacherra leads 51 to 49.

And in Maine’s 2nd, Republican Bruce Poliquin may defeat Democrat Emily Cain to win the open seat, which was previously held by Mike Michaud, who resigned the seat to run this year as the Democratic nominee for governor. He was unsuccessful in his bid to unseat incumbent Republican governor Paul LePage.

1:50 a.m. – Mia Love’s victory in Utah’s 4th District brings the net gain for House Republicans to a dozen. Several races are still undecided, and two Louisiana House races will go to January runoffs.

Wed., Nov. 5, 1:11 a.m. – House Republicans have picked up eleven seats (net) so far, bringing their total to 239. In addition to the races noted previously, Republicans have flipped seats in:

  • Iowa’s 1st District, where Rod Blum has defeated Pat Murphy, 51 to 49 percent (78 percent reporting)
  • New Hampshire’s 1st, where Frank Guinta has beaten Carol Shea-Porter, 52 to 48 (74 percent reporting)
  • New York’s 21st, where Elise Stefanik has topped Aaron Woolf, 55 to 34 (74 percent reporting)
  • North Carolina’s 7th, where David Rouzer has trumped Jonathan Barfield, 60 to 37 (84 percent reporting)
  • Texas’ 23rd, where Will Hurd has defeated Pete Gallego, 50 to 47 (95 percent reporting

Democrats’ sole gain is in Florida’s 2nd District, where Republican Steve Southerland was unable to hold his seat against Democratic challenger Gwen Graham.

These latest numbers are from Ace of Spades HQ Decision Desk.

11:47 a.m. – Good news for the GOP on the Senate side looks to be complemented by good news on the House side.

Results are still coming in from across the country, but Republicans have so far picked up six Democratic seats (net):

  • In Florida’s 26th District, Carlos Curbelo has ousted Joe Garcia, 52 to 48 percent (99 percent of precincts reporting).
  • In Georgia’s 12th, Rick Allen has defeated John Barrow, 55 to 45 (100 percent reporting).
  • In Illinois’s 10th, Robert Dold has beaten Brad Schneider, 52 to 48 (98 percent reporting).
  • Also, in Illinois’s 12th, Mike Bost has defeated William Enyart, 55 to 39 (90 percent reporting).
  • In New York’s 1st, Lee Zeldin has defeated Timothy Bishop, 55 to 45 (99 percent reporting).
  • Also, in New York’s 24th, John Katko has defeated Daniel Maffei, 59 to 41 (98 percent reporting).

We noted earlier that Evan Jenkins ousted Nick Rahall in West Virginia’s 3rd District, sending home a three-decade Democratic incumbent.

As ballots continue coming in, keep a close eye on California’s 26th, where Jeff Gorell looks poised to knock off Democratic incumbent Julia Browley.

Also, Dan Bongino is close to ousting Democratic incumbent John Delaney in Maryland’s 6th, a D+4 district.

And in New Hampshire’s 1st, Frank Guinta may well defeat Carol Shea-Porter.

Fox News currently has Republicans in control of 229 seats and Democrats in control of 154, with 52 seats yet to be determined.

We’ll continue updating our list as races are called. . .
