Democrats are likely to retain their control of the House for two more years, but their majority had shrunk by at least seven as results come in on Wednesday.

Democrats were hoping to gain at least 15 seats in the House, but only gained two North Carolina seats vacated by GOP incumbents. The GOP made gains, but did not get the 218 seats they need to control the House.
