Sixteen Key House Races Could Decide Control of US Congress in November ElectionPreviousNext

With all 435 US House seats up for election on November 3, 16 closely contested races could decide control of the next Congress. Democrats need a net gain of three seats to take the House. Key battlegrounds include districts in Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Montana, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Virginia. Notably, Alabama's 2nd District was redrawn following a Supreme Court decision, and President Trump campaigned for Republican candidates in some districts.
