The Associated Press projects that Republican Rep. David Schweikert will win Arizona’s 1st Congressional District, beating out his Democratic challenger Jevin Hodge by a narrow margin almost one week after Election Day.
Democrats eyed Arizona’s 1st Congressional district as a critical pick-up opportunity as they fight to hold onto a slim House majority. The seat was listed on the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee’s “Red to Blue” program.
With 214 House seats now in Republican control and 204 with the Democrats, the House majority is still up for grabs with 16 seats left in play, though a Republican path to victory appears more plausible. The Republicans need just 5 more wins to secure a majority in the House.
