In ME-02, Jared Golden won the RCV runoff last night, as expected. Also last night, Jim Costa was declared the winner in CA-21. This brings the House to 218–212, with just five uncalled races remaining.

Derek Tran is looking increasingly good in CA-45, and Marcy Kaptur is all but certain in OH-09. That brings us to 214. In addition, I would love to see Adam Gray pull out a win in CA-13. Apparently Gray needs just 54% of the remaining votes to squeeze out a victory.

Bohannan needs the recount to go her way in IA-01, which seems unlikely. In Alaska, Mary Peltola needs John Wayne (Howe’s) votes to break strongly for her in the RCV tabulation. That’s a long shot, but stranger things have happened in Alaskan elections.

Isn't it 217-212 since Florida already has a vacancy?

You’re right, but it depends how you count. When they’re charting the partisan split as a result of the election, I am not aware of any news network subtracting a seat after Matt Gaetz’s recent resignation.
