Some Republicans are barely holding onto seats in districts that voted for Trump by 10-12 points in 2024, CBS News reports.

With votes still being counted from last week's midterm elections, some Republican candidates are narrowly maintaining their positions in districts that had supported President Trump by about 10 to 12 points in the 2024 presidential election, CBS News reported.

Kyle Kondik, managing editor of Sabato's Crystal Ball, discussed these close races on CBS News' program 'The Takeout,' highlighting the challenges Republicans face in these areas.

The ongoing vote counting indicates a competitive political environment in districts that were previously considered strongholds for Republicans due to their support for Trump.

This situation reflects the dynamic nature of voter preferences and the potential shifts in political power as the midterm results are finalized.
