MSNBC and ABC News are projecting that Republicans will continue to control the House of Representatives.

It’s early in the night, but the climb to retake the House was always steep for Democrats who needed to see a major wave election for control of the House to flip.

Democrats needed to win 30 seats in other words they had to run the table in most every competitive district.
