Former President Donald Trump has won back the White House, and Republicans have won control of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives. But we still don't know how big the GOP's Senate and House majorities will be, since there are still several races that don't have a projected winner. The outcomes of these elections could have major implications for how easy it will be for Trump to enact his second-term agenda.

However, it could be a while before we know who won these races. California — home to multiple undecided House races — is still working through counting all its ballots. Other races will require ranked-choice voting to resolve. And still others, like Pennsylvania's Senate race, could go to a recount.

We at 538 will be tracking it all on this live blog dedicated to all the outstanding races of the 2024 election. Join us for live updates, analysis and commentary until the last major race is decided.

Several new House races projected

ABC News projects that Democrats have won Indiana's 1st District and Washington's 8th District, while Republicans have won Arizona's 2nd, California's 3rd and California's 40th.

None of these projections are terribly surprising. Democratic Reps. Frank Mrvan and Kim Schrier were considered likely to win in Indiana and Washington, per our preelection forecast. Same with Republican Rep. Young Kim in California's 40th District and Republican Rep. Kevin Kiley in California's 3rd. And while a well-regarded pre-election poll had found Republican Rep. Eli Crane tied with Democrat Jonathan Nez in Arizona's 2nd, in the end, Crane ended up pulling it out.

ABC News has projected that Republican Ryan Mackenzie will defeat Democratic Rep. Susan Wild in Pennsylvania's 7th District. The seat, which sits in the eastern part of the state, but to the north of the Philadelphia region, has been closely contested during Wild's three terms in office. 538's forecast gave Wild an edge coming into Election Day, giving her about a 7-in-10 shot of winning reelection. But Mackenzie leads by 1.4 points, 50.7% to 49.3% with 99% of the expected vote reporting.

Democrats hold Wisconsin's Senate seat

ABC News projects that Democratic Sen. Tammy Baldwin has won reelection in Wisconsin. With 99% of the expected vote counted, she has 49.4% and Republican Eric Hovde has 48.5%. That's an important win for Democrats, as this was one of Republicans' best remaining pickup opportunities.

Baldwin prevailed despite Trump carrying Wisconsin on the presidential level, making her just the second Senate candidate in the last 10 years to win a state at the same time that the opposite party's presidential candidate was carrying it. However, Trump only won Wisconsin 50% to 49%, so there were actually very few split-ticket voters in this race.

Liccardo is the projected winner in California's 16th District

ABC News is projecting that former San José mayor Sam Liccardo will win the Democrat vs. Democrat matchup in California's 16th District, defeating Evan Low, despite Gov. Newsom's endorsement of Low.

Liccardo will replace Rep. Anna Eshoo, also a Democrat, who announced her retirement.
