Republicans on Brink of House Control

Control of the U.S. House of Representatives remains uncertain with several key races still too close to call, particularly in California and other states like Arizona and Iowa. As of Wednesday, Republicans are on the brink of securing a majority, with NBC News and Decision Desk HQ projecting victory, while the Associated Press refrains from making a call due to ongoing ballot counting. In Shasta County, over 46,000 ballots have been counted, but delays caused by ballot overspray may push final results well beyond the Dec. 5 certification deadline. Meanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom is set to meet with the Biden administration to discuss state climate policies and seek federal support, as he aims to safeguard California's liberal initiatives against incoming Trump policies. Additionally, a judge is expected to rule on whether to overturn Trump's recent conviction, which could affect his upcoming sentencing. As the political landscape shifts, both parties are strategizing for the new congressional dynamics and the implications of a Trump presidency.
