**Jim Costa Secures Reelection as Nick Begich Captures Alaska At-large Seat**

In a surprising turn of events, Democrat Jim Costa has been projected to win reelection in California's 21st District, a race initially considered 'Safe Democrat' but became one of the last races to be decided. Despite the early projections, the competition proved to be tighter than expected.

On Saturday morning, another significant development unfolded as Decision Desk called the Alaska At-large district for Republican Nick Begich. Although official results await the state's ranked choice tabulation scheduled for Wednesday, Begich's lead appears insurmountable. This marks Begich's third attempt at this seat, resulting in a notable Republican gain.

With these updates, the current political landscape in the House of Representatives now stands at 220 Republicans and 213 Democrats. In this election cycle, 15 seats have switched parties, and nine incumbents have been defeated. These changes illustrate the shifting dynamics and competitive nature of the recent elections.
