House of Representatives Remains Up for Grabs, But Democrats' Path to Majority Narrows
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Control of the House is still undecided as neither party has secured the
necessary 218 seats. Democrats now hold 204 House seats, while
Republicans have 212. In Washington state, two Democrats won their races
over the weekend: Newcomer Marie Gluesenkamp Pérez beat Trump-backed Joe
Kent, while Kim Schrier held on to her seat against Republican Matt
Larkin. In neighboring Oregon, Republican Lori Chavez-De Remer flipped a
Democratic seat after beating progressive candidate Jamie Mc
Leod-Skinner, who ousted longtime incumbent Kurt Schrader in the
primaries.

Newly elected progressive Democrats arrived in D.C. Sunday to meet with
members of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, including 25-year-old
Maxwell Frost of Florida, who became the first Generation Z
congressmember.

Rep.-elect Maxwell Alejandro Frost: "We have heard all about this red
wave and this and that. And when you look at the numbers, we see that
what stopped the red wave were young voters who turned out in historic
numbers, who voted for Democrats over 63%."
