Democrats won all four competitive Ohio House races and secured the 218 seats needed to flip control of the chamber, the Associated Press said.
- On Tuesday, Democrats flipped control of the U.S. House, surpassing the 218-seat threshold needed for a majority. Ohio's competitive congressional races played a key role in the outcome.
- The election served as the first test for Ohio's new congressional map, which the Republican-controlled Ohio Redistricting Commission redrew last year to expand a 12-3 GOP advantage. Democrats won all four competitive races, defeating the intended strategy.
- Democrat Brian Poindexter defeated Rep Max Miller in the 7th District, while Don Leonard beat incumbent Rep Mike Carey in the 15th. Rep Marcy Kaptur and Rep Greg Landsman also retained their seats against Republican challengers.
- Ohio's delegation is split 7-7, as the 10th District race remains unsettled. Democrat Kristina Knickerbocker holds a 5,000-vote lead over incumbent Republican Mike Turner with 98% of the vote counted.
- Nationwide, Democrats hold 228 seats compared to 139 for Republicans, with 68 races still undecided, according to the Associated Press. This count reflects the current balance of power heading into the new Congress.
