Analysts have warned for days that, given the amount of close races around the country this election, the 218-seat threshold needed for a House majority may not be known for several days. Results for the presidential election, however, might also meet the same fate as results in seven battleground states are expected to go down to the wire.
Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro and Michigan's Secretary of State Jocely Benson are both quoted by CNN, expressing their optimism that results might not take as long to be tallied as they were in 2020, when almost four full days went by before Joe Biden was announced as the winner.
