Three House Races Remain Uncalled Post-Election

Three U.S. House races, two in California and one in Iowa, remain undecided weeks after Election Day, impacting the Republicans' narrow majority in Congress. In California's 13th District, Republican incumbent John Duarte holds a slim lead over Democrat Adam Gray, with vote counts showing Duarte ahead by fewer than 200 votes. Meanwhile, in California's 45th District, Democratic challenger Derek Tran leads Republican incumbent Michelle Steel by approximately 600 votes. In Iowa’s 1st District, Republican incumbent Mariannette Miller-Meeks holds a narrow lead over Democrat Christina Bohannan, with a recount underway due to the tight margin. The final outcomes of these races will determine the exact size of the Republican majority, which currently stands at 219 seats to the Democrats' 213. Potential House vacancies due to appointments in the upcoming administration add further significance to these undecided races.
