Democrats now need 16 seats from the toss-ups to win the majority, Republicans need 22 to retain the majority.
This assumes Democrats win all 14 seats which only lean Democrat (part of their 202 tally) and Republicans win all 27 seats which only lean Republican (part of their 196 tally).
That puts 78 seats in play 48 hours before the election on Tuesday, 68 of which are Republican seats.
The 114th Congress ended with Republicans in control of the US House with 246 seats. The current 115th Congress began with Republicans in control of the US House with 241 seats.
Republicans currently control 235 seats, Democrats 193, with 7 vacancies, as of the end of September.
