Republicans are still in position to reach the 218 seats necessary to take control of the House, but the size of their potential majority is looking increasingly slim. Toss-up races have been breaking in favor of Democrats. In one case, on Saturday night, CBS News projected that in Washington, Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez defeated incumbent GOP Rep. Joe Kent in the 3rd District, a seat Republicans were favored to hold.
On Saturday, President Joe Biden, who is in Cambodia for a summit of Southeast Asian nations, spoke about the midterm elections, saying he was "incredibly pleased" to hear that Democrats held the Senate, and said he was confident Democrats could hold the House, too, but conceded "it's a stretch — everything has to fall our way."
