How Election Week 2022 Went Down
It’s early, obviously, but Republicans have flipped two of the five seats they need in order to take control of the House. (Of course, Democrats can flip other seats right back, negating these gains.) Both of these GOP wins can be chalked up to gerrymandering, as Republicans redrew these districts to favor the GOP.
Which House and Senate seats have changed hands so far
Races that ABC News has projected for the party that does not currently hold the seat, as of 8:18 p.m. Eastern
| race | incumbent party | name | party | current lead |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| FL-13 | D | Anna Paulina Luna | R | R+8.6 |
| FL-7 | D | Cory Mills | R | R+16.2 |
We’re also charting the balance of power in the House in real time as results come in. As of 8:15 p.m. Eastern, the official counts according to ABC News projections are 111 GOP seats, 77 Democratic seats and 247 left to call.
And at last, we have some results from Indiana’s 1st District race! With 21 percent of the expected vote reporting, Democrat incumbent Rep. Frank Mrvan is up with 60 percent to Jennifer-Ruth Green’s 40 percent. This looks pretty tight for Mrvan, with an estimated 30 percent of total votes early or absentee, which should favor the incumbent congressman.
