One week after Election Day Republicans can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The GOP is officially projected to win control of the House of Representatives with what will now be a slimmer-than-expected majority.
Monday night, two California Republicans put the GOP within earshot of the majority.
Incumbent Reps. Ken Calvert (R) and Michelle Steel (R) fended off their Democrat challengers, keeping California’s 41st and 45th Congressional Districts in Republican control.
As American Liberty News previously reported:
Steel defeated Democrat Jay Chen to continue serving California’s 45th Congressional District. With 69% of the votes counted as of Monday night, Steel had 53.8% to Chen’s 46.2%, the Associated Press reported.
Calvert faced off against Democrat Will Rollins in the Nov. 8 midterm elections. With 80% of the votes in, Calvert had a 5,500 vote lead over Rollins, the Associated Press reported.
Calvert was first elected to the House of Representatives in 1992 and serves as dean of the California Republican Delegation, according to The Washington Examiner.
Nearly a week after Election Day, 10 House races are still outstanding in California. The tightest race remaining in California is for the open seat in District 13 where Democrat Adam Gray has a 761-vote lead over Republican John Duarte with nearly 80% of the votes counted, according to the Associated Press.

Really? According to Fox News, the Republicans are still short just TWO seats from having a majority of 219 seats. Only 9 seats are left to be defined. Keeping my fingers crossed that the Dems do not get them all. Hope is a wonderful thing.
