When Will We Know Who Controls Congress?

The 2024 U.S. elections will determine which party controls Congress, but the exact timing of the results remains uncertain.

The Associated Press plans to report on all 435 House districts and 35 Senate races up for election this year.

While the stakes are clear, the final control of Congress may not be known immediately after the polls close.

Counting votes and confirming winners can take days or even weeks, especially in closely contested districts.

Voters and observers will need patience as the process unfolds to see which party gains control of the legislative branch.
