Democrats picked up a seat Monday in Oregon’s 6th Congressional District, which was called for Democrat Andrea Salinas. The current tally is 217 Republicans and 204 Democrats. About a dozen matches remain to be played. The results are sure to be a relief to Republicans and a blow to Democrats’ slim hopes of a surprise victory in the House. Democrats viewed the 1st District in Arizona all week as a pickup opportunity as the race remained tight and hoped to keep the newly drawn 6th District, which includes much of the Democratic 2nd District, out of GOP hands.
