PoliticsFive Key House Races Could Decide US Congress Control in 2026
The 2026 US House of Representatives control may hinge on five competitive races in Texas, Iowa, Ohio, and Maine. Republicans hold a narrow 219-214 majority with two vacancies, so Democrats need a net gain of four seats. Redistricting has made some districts more competitive, such as Texas' 34th, where Democrat Vicente Gonzalez faces Republican Eric Flores in a newly redrawn, more Republican-leaning district.
