Four types of House races to watch on election night to know how it might go
NPR's election-night guide lays out four types of House races to watch as Democrats appear poised to retake the chamber from Republicans' narrow 218-214 seat majority, starting with first-closing Kentucky's 6th and Indiana's 5th, where Trump's 2024 margins gauge how far voters have soured on the GOP. It also flags fast-reporting Florida toss-ups, districts redrawn after a Supreme Court ruling rolled back part of the Voting Rights Act, and heavily spent races like Arkansas's 2nd, where over $10 million in late ad spending signals both parties think turnout is decisive.
