The balance of the elections changed in the US: 43 seats changed hands

Democrats have won 253 House seats versus 157 for Republicans in the November 3 U.S. midterm elections, with counting still underway and 25 races undecided, leaving control of 43 seats that changed hands unresolved. The incomplete tally means the balance of power in the chamber has not been finalized, a outcome that will shape the legislative agenda, budget negotiations and oversight of the Biden administration. Markets and policy watchers are focused on the remaining undecided districts, where final results will determine whether Democrats hold or lose their House majority and how much room either party has to advance spending and tax legislation.
