The final balance of power in Congress remains unsettled tonight.
There are still several key races across the country too close to call.
And while Democrats are gaining control of the House and the Senate,
we are still waiting for the final margins.
Fox 5's Regina Gutierrez is live near
the Capitol tracking the latest results.
Regina?
Yeah, well, guys, this was a historical election marking
a major shift of power in Congress.
Democrats making significant gains across the country.
The party calling it a blue tsunami,
which is a major blow for Republicans.
But there were several races still too close to call.
Now, Democrats flipped several seats in places Republicans won just two
years ago, including states that have leaned Republican for decades.
But I want to turn to the Senate race in Mississippi.
Democrat Scott Collum and Republican incumbent Cindy.
Cindy Hyde-Smith are in a neck-and-neck contest
with Collum holding a narrow lead.
The Associated Press has not declared a winner
as election officials continue counting the
remaining ballots.
Meanwhile, the Senate race in Alaska
also remains too close to call and has drawn national
attention because two candidates
on the ballot share the name Dan Sullivan.
Incumbent Republican Senator Dan Sullivan
is facing Democrat Mary Peltola along with
other candidates, including that second Dan Sullivan.
The counting process could take some time due
to Alaska's ranked choice voting system.
And tonight, California Congressman Robert Garcia,
who is set to lead the House Oversight
Committee, is laying out his plans
for major investigations involving the president and
his family.
The first is we're gonna take on the Trump crime family.
The amount of graft and corruption
is unprecedented in American politics.
This family is billions richer as the American public struggle.
And so as people are making choices
about what to buy at the supermarket,
whether they can pay the rent,
the Trumps get richer and richer and richer.
And meanwhile, President Donald Trump made
his first public appearance today following
the midterm elections.
At the White House, the president showed off construction
of the ballroom he's building.
He did respond to questions about whether he would work
with Democrats in the new Congress.
Look, I mean, I'll get along probably
with the Democrats unless they wanna be destructive,
but they have the power of the veto.
So if we don't like what they're doing, they'll...
They've already called.
They want to talk about things, and that's fine.
Now, look, I mean, if I were on the ballot, we would have won.
You saw the people that were
packed, thousands and thousands of people at every rally.
And if I was on the ballot, we would have
won. And tonight, Democrats have at least 54 Senate seats,
Republicans 44, with two seats
left to call. And in the House, there's even more uncertainty,
with races still too close to call.
Jim, Angie? More on those on the final five at 1130.
In the meantime, a new-
