California Democrat Rep. Josh Harder has declared victory over his Republican opponent, Stockton Mayor Kevin Lincoln, who has conceded the race.
"While the results are not what we hoped for, I remain incredibly proud of the journey we've shared," Lincoln said in a statement.
Though Republicans will control the House, Fox News projects, Harder’s win shifts the balance of power to 219 seats for Republicans and 209 for Democrats.
