The upcoming U.S. House of Representatives elections on November 5 are set to be pivotal, with Republicans working to maintain their narrow majority. Democrats are determined to shift the balance of power by flipping just five seats to seize control of the lower chamber.

Key battlegrounds include New York suburbs, where Democrats are vying to reclaim several districts. In Maine, Democrats face tough challenges in typically Republican-leaning areas, and Pennsylvania's swing districts remain fiercely contested. Other notable races are happening in Arizona, Nebraska, and California's Central Valley.

In Washington and Oregon, voter preference for moderate candidates will be tested, as previously Republican-held districts have seen Democratic advances. The outcome of these races will significantly impact the composition of the House, with both parties pulling out all stops to secure their position.
