Yes, it's six days after Election Day, but the term too early to call still very much

applies, but lead starts right now.

Nineteen, uncalled congressional races means we still do not know which party will control

the House of Representatives.

But center stage right now, both Republican leaders McCarthy and the House and McConnell

and the Senate are facing rebellions from within their own ranks.

Over the sour, America's most popular governor, Republican Charlie Baker of Massachusetts,

in a CNN exclusive, reacting to his party's midterm failures and talking about where

he thinks the GOP needs to go now.

Plus a horrifying campus tragedy, three University of Virginia football players killed.

And now a former team members in custody, and apparently police had already been warned

about him.

Welcome to the lead on Jake Tapper, and we start in our politics lead where the fight

to control the House of Representatives is down to nineteen key races.

CNN projects two hundred four seats as of now will go to Democrats, two hundred twelve

to Republicans to win control.

The party needs to win two hundred eighteen seats.

So odds favor Republicans at this hour, but the larger issue for the Republican Party

is their underperformance in these midterm elections, with Democrats holding the Senate

perhaps even picking up a seat, and House Republicans falling way short of what the opposition

party historically achieves in a midterm election.

Republicans therefore are now questioning out loud who is to blame.
