How Election Week 2022 Went Down
Paroma, a lot of those flips so far can be explained by redistricting. Florida’s 7th and 13th districts were redrawn to be reliably Republican; same with Tennessee’s 5th. In addition, New Jersey’s 7th District got a few points redder in order to shore up Democratic incumbents in neighboring districts. And Ohio’s 1st District went from slightly more Republican-leaning than the nation as a whole to slightly more Democratic-leaning.
ABC News projects that Republican Thomas H. Kean Jr. will win in NJ-7, defeating incumbent Democrat Rep. Tom Malinowski.
Eight races in the Senate and 44 in the House have yet to be called. Of these, two Senate seats are still toss-ups, and another two are competitive. Thirteen seats in the House are neck-and-neck as well, though Republicans only need 11 to hold a majority.
