Who will control the House? Key races to watchGetty ImagesThe party that will control the US House of Representatives - one of two chambers that makes up the United States Congress - remains up in the air.
The lower chamber currently has a Republican majority, which Democrats were hoping to flip with several key races.
Every seat in the House is up for grabs this election cycle. It's important to note the final tally may not be known for several more days.
