Republicans have yet to flip a House seat tonight
Adam Wollner, deputy politics editor

So far, according to NBC News Decision Desk projections, Democrats have flipped 20 House seats compared to zero for the GOP.

That comes even after the Republicans redrew congressional maps in several states over the last year and a half in an attempt to give themselves a boost in the midterms.
