9 Congressional races to keep an eye on during Election Night


The 2024 election is not only about the presidential race between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump, but also about control of both chambers of Congress. The outcome of several fluid races may produce surprises on election night and will have a significant impact on the next president’s agenda. Here are nine congressional races to watch:

1. Texas Senate: Democrat Colin Allred is giving a tough fight to Republican Sen. Ted Cruz in a traditionally conservative state.
2. Nebraska Senate: Independent Dan Osborn is challenging Republican Sen. Deb Fischer as a populist outsider, making the race closer than expected.
3. Maryland Senate: Republican Larry Hogan aims to defy the odds in a deep-blue state against Democrat Angela Alsobrooks.
4. Florida Senate: Democrats hope to oust Sen. Rick Scott, who has a history of tight wins, with former Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell.
5. Pennsylvania’s 10th District: Rep. Scott Perry faces a strong challenge from Democrat Janelle Stelson in what has become a toss-up race.
6. Virginia’s 2nd District: Republican Rep. Jen Kiggans is in a close race against Democrat Missy Cotter Smasal, with results expected to be an early bellwether.
7. Wisconsin’s 3rd District: GOP Rep. Derrick Van Orden is favored, but Democrat Rebecca Cooke is trying to appeal to moderate voters for an upset.
8. Texas’ 34th District: Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez faces a challenge from Mayra Flores, who is tapping into anti-transgender sentiment.
9. California’s 47th District: Republicans hope to flip this open seat in Newport Beach with Scott Baugh against Democrat Dave Min.

These races could determine which party wins a majority in the House or Senate and will shape the legislative agenda of the next administration.
