A GOP hold and a tight race in Iowa’s competitive House seats
ABC News has projected that Rep. Zach Nunn will hold onto his seat in Iowa’s 3rd District, fending off Democratic challenger Lanon Baccam. Baccam had a lead earlier this evening, but will fall short by around 4 points.
Meanwhile, Mary wrote earlier about the tight race in the 1st District between Republican Rep. Miller-Meeks and challenger Christina Bohannan, who had a small lead earlier in the evening. The last few counties may be enough to put Miller-Meeks over the edge. She’s leading by fewer than 500 votes with 98% of the vote reporting…. Though that'd still be a bigger lead than her 6-vote win back in 2020.

Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar will remain in Congress
ABC News is projecting that Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar will retain control of Texas’s 28th District. With 90% of expected vote reporting, Cuellar led his challenger, Republican Jay Furman, 52% to 48%. The close election here is somewhat surprising as Republicans didn’t target the district in the hopes of flipping it as they did in 2022.
