Democratic Party campaign official: House election situation is deadlocked, final results may take more than a week

ChainCatcher news, according to CNN, U.S. House Democratic campaign chair Suzan DelBene stated in an interview with CNN that determining control of the House may take a week or longer. This warning stems from the prevalence of mail-in voting, which has made the counting process more time-consuming.

DelBene reflected on the 2022 midterm elections, when it took 8 days to determine which party won the majority in the House. She anticipates that this election may require the same or even longer time. "Some districts are very competitive, especially in places like my home state of Washington, where mail-in ballots are still being received, the results may take longer to be revealed," DelBene explained.

It is worth noting that in 2022, the Republicans won control of the House by a narrow margin of about 6,675 votes, a result that came from the five closest districts. In some of these districts, the margin of victory was even less than 1,000 votes. DelBene is preparing her colleagues for the possibility of delayed results based on the experience of the last election.
