The U.S. House races in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and other states are pivotal in determining control of Congress, with key competitive districts like Michigan's 3rd and Pennsylvania's 8th and 17th under the spotlight. In Pennsylvania, Democratic incumbent Matt Cartwright is defending his seat in the 8th District, a significant race due to its past support for Trump and high campaign expenditures. Chris Deluzio is expected to hold an edge in Pennsylvania's 17th District, despite the district's balanced political landscape. In Michigan, Democrats hold a slight lead but face challenges due to retirements and ambitious office runs, making the outcome uncertain. In Illinois, incumbents like Dave Koehler and Meg Loughran Cappel are battling GOP challengers in closely watched state races. Iowa's 1st Congressional District sees a rematch between incumbent Marionette Miller-Meeks and Christina Bohannon, reflecting broader national partisan tensions.
