House Democrats expected to pick up seats on Election Day after months of polls and pundits insisted 2020 would bring about another Blue Wave. Even Fox News projected Democrats would gain five seats in the House.
So far, Democrats have only managed to flip two districts while Republicans have flipped eight, meaning the GOP has a net gain of six. Republicans have won or are leading in all 26 House races they were expected to narrowly win and have won or are leading in 25 of the 27 races labeled as tossups by The New York Times. Republican candidates have also won or are leading in nine of the 36 races expected to be narrowly won by Democrats.
