Democrats start with a one -seat disadvantage created by new maps.

21 Republican seats are competitive, with 15 of them being toss-ups or already favoring Democrats .

Eight vulnerable Republicans are in districts in the deep blue states New York and California .

Democrats have fewer races in the toss-up category: 11 , compared with 15 for Republicans .

Democrats in general feel better about their chances than Republicans , but this is still anyone’s game.

A small shift in presidential momentum could have a big effect down the ballot for control of the House .

Thanks to slow counting in California , we are unlikely to know the fate of the chamber on election night .
