races to keep control of the house. first, the house, where according to the latest projection, republicans have to win just seven out of 31 undecided seats to secure the majority. in the senate, 49 to 48 with a republican edge as we wait for results from out west and that georgia runoff in december. here is where things stand in the undecided races. in arizona, more votes overnight. it s too early to call as democratic senator mark kelly holds on to his lead over blake masters. nevada senate is too early to call. republican adam laxalt is holding a narrow lead over incumbent senator cortez masto. among the undecided governors, hobbs holding a lead over lake in arizona.
one-month runoff. i think voters in georgia will need patience putting up with the ads, back and forth and everything they will see in what was a razor close race and is going to be a razor close runoff. it will be hard to watch football down there. laying out the lay of the land as far as the senate landscape here. let s talk about thank you to ellison, steph and vaughan. let s talk house for a second. i don t think there s any expectation there s a balance of power fall soon. but we may see action on individual races. andrea laid out what that looks like. in the last 45 minutes or so, we saw another call in connecticut. not surprising or shocking. still, notable considering that was one of the races that republicans had maybe been eyeing if there were to be a big republican night. we have about 30 uncalled house races left.
republicans need to win just about 25% of them. the bar that they have to actually cross is pretty small. then again, when they only had to pick up five seats at the beginning of election night, that was the smallest bar possible. they weren t able to clear that for a couple of night projection or so. democrats have a larger hurdle. they have to run the table. three-quarters of the remaining races to be able to get to 218. you would rather be republicans than democrats. one important note is that most of the uncalled races that we are seeing is that we end up moving to the west coast. a lot of races in california, races in washington state, races in oregon. democrats have done pretty well statewide in those contests. the thing is, democrats are going to win a lot of those california, oregon and washington contests, we think. we just have to keep on counting.
