Russia-friendly Republican appears headed for defeat

Democrat Harley Rouda won a spot on the general election ballot here by 125 votes. The executive, a former Republican, had a lead over longtime Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R), who has urged friendlier U.S. relations with Russia. Fewer than 3,000 votes separated them Wednesday afternoon.

Fla. 26th District

Moderate Republican who backed Obamacare repeal falters

Democrat Debbie Mucarsel-Powell edged Rep. Carlos Curbelo, a moderate Republican who has represented this South Florida district since 2015. Mucarsel-Powell, a former medical associate dean, turned Curbelo's vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act into a major campaign issue. Curbelo led an unsucessful effort to force an immigration-overhaul vote and had worked to distance himself from President Trump. In 2016, Hillary Clinton won this district by 16 points, and Curbelo won by 12.

Democrats pick up open Miami seat after GOP retirement

Democrat Donna Shalala, a Cabinet secretary under President Bill Clinton, pulled this district that Hillary Clinton won by 20 percentage points into the Democratic column following the retirement of popular congresswoman Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R).

Too close to call in the Atlanta suburbs

Republican Karen Handel and Democrat Lucy McBath, who became a gun-safety activist after her son was shot and killed, were locked in a virtual tie, with McBath up by about 3,000 votes early Wednesday morning. Handel won what was the most expensive House race ever in a special election in 2017. Trump narrowly won this district in 2016, which is why the maps look very similar.

Ga. 7th District

900-vote lead for Republican incumbent near Atlanta

Republican incumbent Rob Woodall appeared to have a slight edge for reelection in Atlanta's suburbs over Democrat Carolyn Bourdeaux. The area’s demographics are changing rapidly, and this is Woodall's first serious challenge since winning the seat in 2010. Trump won here by six points.

Minn. 1st District

Republican captures southern Minnesota open seat

This district President Trump won by 15 points materialized as a prime Republican pickup opportunity when Rep. Tim Walz (D) ran for governor. Walz won statewide, but Iraq War veteran Dan Feehan (D) fell just short of Republican candidate Jim Hagedorn. Hagedorn nearly bested Walz in their 2016 House race.

Democrats flip the script in 2016 rematch

Democratic health-care executive Angie Craig defeated Rep. Jason Lewis (R) in a rematch of their close 2016 race to represent this district that stretches from the Minneapolis suburbs into a rural area. Trump narrowly won here in 2016.

Republican survives in Raleigh suburbs

Rep. George Holding (R) warned supporters in August that he was trailing Democrat Linda Coleman, a former Wake County commissioner and candidate for lieutenant governor. Holding won his 2018 race by only five points, down from 13 in 2016. That's about how much Trump won by as well.

N.C. 9th District

Republican has fewer than 2,000 votes over challenger

Former pastor Mark Harris beat Rep. Robert Pittenger in the GOP primary and was fewer than 2,000 votes ahead of Democrat Dan McCready as of early Wednesday. This Trump +12 district stretches from Charlotte, where Harris’s margins shrunk compared with Trump's, to eastern North Carolina. Harris ran a socially conservative campaign, while McCready is positioning himself as a moderate who wouldn't vote for Nancy Pelosi for House speaker.

N.C. 13th District

First-term Freedom Caucus member withstands challenge

Rep. Ted Budd (R) won a second term against Democrat Kathy Manning, a philanthropist who says she wouldn't support Nancy Pelosi for speaker and was inspired to run by GOP health-care legislation.

Trump, who won here by 10 points, tweeted his support for Rep. Daniel Donovan when he faced a primary challenge.

The district encompasses traditionally Republican parts of Staten Island and Brooklyn. Donovan was the only Republican in New York City's congressional delegation.

Lawyer and former NFL player Colin Allred, a Democrat, successfully challenged Rep. Pete Sessions (R) in this Dallas-area suburban district that went for Hillary Clinton by two points in 2016.

Elaine Luria, a former Navy commander, posted a 51 percent to 49 percent win over Rep. Scott W. Taylor, a former Navy SEAL and combat veteran, in this heavily military district encompassing the Eastern Shore and Virginia Beach. Taylor’s campaign was tainted when his staff members were accused of forging voters’ signatures to help add an independent candidate to the ballot. In 2016, Trump won this district by 3.4 points, and Taylor won by 22.9. Luria was able to increase margins near Norfolk and Newport News.

Former CIA operative Abigail Spanberger (D) narrowly beat Rep. Dave Brat (R), 50 percent to 49 percent. This Richmond-area district has been held by Republicans for decades.

Va. 10th District

Democrats turn area outside D.C. blue

State Sen. Jennifer Wexton (D) unseated two-term congresswoman Barbara Comstock (R) in this suburban Virginia seat. Comstock tried to separate herself from President Trump and his policies at key moments. The area, once reliably red, has become more competitive in recent years, with the areas closer to the District providing the boost for Wexton. In 2016, Clinton won this district by 10 points, and Comstock won by six.
