Jeff Denham (R-CA) loses to Josh Harder (11-13)<\/p>\n<p>It looks like Republicans have\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/fullpage\/midterm-election-map-2018-live-results-58723598\">only picked up 2-3 seats<\/a>\u00a0since election day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/first-read\/democrats-had-good-showing-election-day-it-s-been-even-n935126\">NBC<\/a>\u00a0reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In the wee hours of election night, the consensus was that Democrats had a good \u2014 though far from a great \u2014 showing. They netted the 23 seats needed to win the House, but they hadn\u2019t hit a number much larger than that. It was pretty clear they were going to fall short in the marquee gubernatorial races in Florida and Georgia, even though they picked up seven governors\u2019 mansions. And they looked destined to lose as many as four Senate seats to Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>Since then, however, the Democrats\u2019 performance in the midterms has looked much, much better.\u00a0<strong>They appear on their way to picking up close to 40 House seats \u2014 the party\u2019s best showing since the post-Watergate midterms (their haul in 2006 was about 30 seats).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Regarding the Senate contests, Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., eked out a victory; Democrat Kyrsten Sinema is ahead of Republican Martha McSally by more than 30,000 votes in Arizona; and the Florida Senate race is headed to a manual recount, with Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., trailing Republican Rick Scott by just 12,000 votes. If you assume Sinema wins and Nelson loses, the GOP\u2019s net Senate gain will be just two seats \u2014 when the 2018 map had 10 Democratic incumbents running for re-election in states President Donald Trump carried in 2016.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here are a few House seats to look at, via\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/politics\/first-read\/democrats-had-good-showing-election-day-it-s-been-even-n935126\">NBC<\/a>:<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">THE UNCALLED HOUSE RACES (11)<\/h2>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>CA-10<\/strong>\u00a0(Dem Josh Harder leads Republican Jeff Denham, 51 percent to 49 percent)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>CA-39<\/strong>\u00a0(GOPer Young Kim leads Dem Gil Cisernos, 51 percent to 49 percent)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>CA-45<\/strong>\u00a0(GOPer Mimi Walters leads Dem Katie Porter, 50.5 percent to 49.5 percent)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>CA-48<\/strong>\u00a0(Dem Harley Rouda\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/politics\/article\/Democrat-declares-victory-over-Rep-Dana-13380774.php\">has declared victory<\/a>; he leads, 52 percent to 48 percent)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>CA-49<\/strong>\u00a0(Dem Mike Levin is ahead 55 percent to 45 percent)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>GA-7<\/strong>\u00a0(GOPer Rob Woodall is ahead, 50.2 percent to 49.8 percent)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>ME-2<\/strong>\u00a0(it appears the race is headed to ranked choice to determine the winner)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>NM-2<\/strong>\u00a0(NBC News retracted its earlier call in favor of the Republicans; Dem Xochitl Torres Small is ahead, 51 percent to 49 percent)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>NC-9<\/strong>\u00a0(GOPer Mark Harris is ahead, 49.4 percent to 48.8 percent)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>NJ-3<\/strong>\u00a0(Dem Andy Kim is ahead, 49.9 percent to 48.8 percent)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><strong>UT-4<\/strong>\u00a0(Dem Ben McAdams is ahead, 51.2 percent to 48.8 percent)<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2018\/11\/since-election-day-democrats-pick-off-over-a-dozen-gop-house-seats-and-2-senate-seats-and-theyre-going-for-more\/\">http:\/\/www.thegatewaypundit.com\/2018\/11\/since-election-day-democrats-pick-off-over-a-dozen-gop-house-seats-and-2-senate-seats-and-theyre-going-for-more\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-108471","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108471","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=108471"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/108471\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=108471"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=108471"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation2012.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=108471"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
