November 20, 2018
Our results partner, Decision Desk HQ has called Utah's 4th congressional district for Ben McAdams. This is the 39th pickup for the Democratic Party. Only one race - Georgia's 7th district - remains uncalled. Republican incumbent Rob Woodall is favored here; but the challenger Carolyn Bourdeaux has requested a recount.
Assuming Woodall wins in Georgia, the new House will begin with 234 Democrats, 201 Republicans. This gives Democrats 16 more than the 218 needed to control the chamber.
