Key U.S. House Races to Watch Ahead of November Elections

As Republicans defend a narrow majority in the upcoming November 5th U.S. House elections, several key races stand out. Notable contests include the 1st District of Missouri, where pro-Israel groups influenced the primaries, and Washington State’s 3rd District, featuring Joe Kent. Arizona, New York, and Colorado also have significant races.

As the November 5th U.S. House elections near, Republicans are set to defend their slender majority. Key races are emerging, offering a glimpse into potential shifts in power.

Missouri's 1st District saw Democratic Representative Cori Bush defeated in the primary by Wesley Bell, bolstered by significant pro-Israel funding. Bush, an outspoken critic of Israel's Gaza operations, was bested with 51.2% to Bell's 45.6%.

In Washington State, Republican Joe Kent aims to unseat Democratic Representative Marie Gluesenkamp Perez in the 3rd District. Kent, endorsed by the state Republican Party, narrowly lost to Perez in 2022.
