HOUSE UP FOR GRABSThe outcome was still up in the air in the House, despite Republicans' gains in North Carolina. Tight races in the heavily Democratic states of New York and California could determine House control, though the final outcome may not be known for several days as California typically takes several days to count its ballots.
