REUTERSThe US Capitol is seen at sunrise as Republican House members will today continue their search to find a House speaker following the ouster of Kevin McCarthy, in Washington, US, Oct 13, 2023. That margin could climb as high as 55 seats if Republicans win close races in Arizona and Nevada, which remain uncalled. In the battle for the House, Republicans were edging closer to victory after adding one seat to their 220-212 majority, though 25 races have yet to be called. Republicans had secured at least 211 seats, seven short of a majority in the 435-seat chamber. Democrats would have to win 19 of the remaining uncalled races to take a House majority and maintain a toehold on power in Washington.
