Methodology & sources

Called means a news organization has determined a winner; it does not mean the state has certified the race. Leading means a candidate is ahead while votes remain. Official certification follows canvassing and review. We use blue for Democrats and red for Republicans only to identify parties. We do not endorse candidates in this results report. Seat bars are dated snapshots and do not automatically update; visit the source links for the most recent figures.
