On CTVNews.ca, an Associated Press explainer breaks down why they haven't called control of U.S. Congress yet, which hangs in the balance two days and counting after the 2022 midterm elections.
Control of Congress hangs in the balance two days and counting after the 2022 midterm elections. Let's take a closer look at where things stand.In short, because neither party has reached the 218 seats necessary to win in the House or the 50 or 51 required in the Senate. When that will happen isn't clear -- it could be days or even weeks.
In House races, the AP had declared Republicans winners in 207 seats compared with 184 for the Democrats by early Thursday. Other races hadn't been called yet. In the Senate, where about a third of the 100 seats were up for election, the count of AP race calls meant the chamber stood at 49-48 in Republicans' favor.Key races, like contests for governor and U.S. Senate in Arizona and Nevada, remained uncalled Thursday as officials there continue to tally votes, including mail-in ballots.
