The Full Scorecard: Democrats Take the Senate and House, Flip Five Governorships, and Two Senate Races Are Still Too Close to Call
Every Senate and governor race, and the House in full, from the Associated Press count as of about 8 a.m. Central on Wednesday: who won, by how much, and which races are still open. All counts are unofficial until the states certify.
Republicans had a rough night. Here is the whole board, race by race, with the Associated Press calls and the margins. Every vote count below is unofficial. Only the states certify results, and none have yet.
The totals. The AP shows Democrats at 54 Senate seats and Republicans at 44, with two races uncalled. In the House, the AP shows Democrats at 228 seats and Republicans at 139, with 68 uncalled. A House majority is 218. Among the 36 governor races on the ballot, the AP has called 34 and left two open. The AP called control of the House for Democrats at 12:24 a.m. Central, after calling the Senate earlier. These totals include seats not up this year.

HOUSE (435 seats)
The AP shows Democrats at 228, Republicans at 139 and 68 uncalled. Our seat-by-seat figures below come from the AP's race feed at about 8 a.m. Central and may trail the AP's headline count by a few seats.
Republican-held seats the AP has called for Democrats, with the margin:
- Colorado 8: Manny Rutinel over Rep. Gabe Evans, 14.7 points.

The AP also lists Democratic wins in Utah 1 (Ben McAdams, 47.0 points, about 60% counted) and California 1 (Mike McGuire, 14.1 points, about 50% counted) in districts that were Republican-held before the redraw. Counts there are still early.
By our count from the AP feed, 17 Republican House incumbents have lost called races, and Rep. Kevin Kiley of California, who ran with no party preference, also lost.
The AP shows no Democratic-held House seat flipping to Republicans in its called races at this hour.
Closest called House races: Florida 4 (Aaron Bean, R, 2.1 points), Georgia 1 (James Kingston, R, 2.8), Indiana 5 (J.D. Ford, D, 3.3) and Wisconsin 1 (Mitchell Berman, D, 3.9).
HOUSE RACES STILL UNCALLED (the closest, with the AP's count at the time)
- North Carolina 5: Chuck Hubbard (D) leads Rep. Virginia Foxx (R) by 99 votes.
- North Carolina 3: Rep. Greg Murphy (R) leads by 233 votes.
- Minnesota 1: Jake Johnson (D) leads Rep. Brad Finstad (R) by 321 votes.
- Tennessee 4: Victoria Broderick (D) leads Rep. Scott DesJarlais (R) by 280 votes.

- Florida 27 (Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar, R, +1,116), Florida 9 (Rep. Darren Soto, D, +1,477), Florida 7 (Ryan Elijah, R, +1,906).
- Arizona 2: Jonathan Nez (D) leads Rep. Eli Crane (R) by 1,953 votes, about 78% counted.
At least 18 sitting House Republicans trail in uncalled races, among them Foxx, Finstad, DesJarlais, Crane, Lauren Boebert (Colorado 4, down 4,894), Juan Ciscomani (Arizona 6), David Valadao (California 22), Mike Lawler (New York 17), Jeff Van Drew (New Jersey 2) and Mike Turner (Ohio 10). Late counts can move these leads in either direction, and several of these counts are still well short of complete.
Louisiana's House races used a different system this year. The AP has called four of six, with a runoff in the 5th and the 6th still open.
How we count. Calls are the Associated Press's. Votes are unofficial and will change. Percentages and margins are our arithmetic from the AP's counts.

What we could not check. We have not seen official state results. No state has certified. Our House list is a summary, not every one of the 435 races. The AP's 68-seat uncalled total includes races where the outcome is set by party, such as same-party contests in California, so the close-race list above is not the full 68.
