Republicans lead in a handful of other races as well as of press time, and may hold up to 222 seats if current results hold. The party is about to lose a few lawmakers, with Trump naming Representatives Matt Gaetz, Elise Stefanik and Mike Waltz to executive branch roles, meaning they’ll have to resign their seats. Gaetz, who Trump said would be his nominee for Attorney General, already sent his resignation letter “effective immediately.”
