Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives will defend a narrow majority in the upcoming Nov. 5 elections. Several key races are critical as Republicans and Democrats vie for control.

In Missouri's 1st District, Democratic Representative Cori Bush faces a tough primary challenge from local prosecutor Wesley Bell, with nearly $15 million from pro-Israel groups influencing the race. Bush’s stance on Israel's military campaign in Gaza has made her a target. In Washington State's 3rd District, Republicans will choose a candidate to unseat Democratic Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez, with Joe Kent, endorsed by the state Republican Party, as a notable contender.

Arizona's 1st District sees Republican Representative David Schweikert as a top Democratic target. Amish Shah will challenge him after securing the Democratic primary. Multiple other races in Colorado, Virginia, and New York also draw attention due to significant political shifts and endorsements. This election cycle’s dynamics could reshape the future control of the House.
