Dems currently lead in enough districts to get them to 261 seats
CNN's live midterm coverage reports Democrats leading in enough House districts to reach 261 seats, with eight Republican-held seats flipped, a called count of 253, and 27 races still uncalled — gains that may be the biggest since Watergate. Analyst Harry puts their popular vote lead at 12 points, while reporter Kristen Holmes says the White House is fingerpointing, largely at Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, whom President Trump has publicly said he will not fire.
