Rep. Josh Harder, a Democrat from California, has been officially declared the winner in the 9th Congressional District, adding to the current Republican majority tally in the House, which stands at 219-212. Meanwhile, four races are still unresolved.
In California’s mail-in voting system, Harder’s Republican opponent, Kevin Lincoln, came up around 8,000 votes short. Harder secured victory with 51.8% of the vote, leading Lincoln by close to four percentage points.
The House majority now rests with Republicans, who hold at least 219 seats compared to the Democrats’ 212, with four races still undetermined. The GOP is currently leading in three of those remaining contests, including the Alaska at-large seat, which is held by Democrat Rep. Mary Peltola.
