key races in california abc 7 news anchorless creates is here with a look at where things stand liz. hi guys. yeah right now abc news is projection that democrats have 206 house seats republicans have 212 they're just six seats away from that magic number 218 that they need for control of the house the path for democrats to win does seem to have narrowed. but if they do it's likely to come down to races here in california. with the race for control of the house of representatives now down to the wire all eyes are looking towards california across the state nearly 4 million ballots from the midterm election still need to be counted those votes critical and house races that are still too close to call. there are probably five seats in california that election watchers across the country are looking at to see whe cthan hapn california that will help democrats maintain the majority in the house the mitchell says he's watching most.

close solace and district 41 in riverside county between republican incumbent ken calvert and democrat. will rollins for the first time that district now includes left-leaning palm springs, which has made it harder for calvert who campaigned against gay marriage in california to keep his seat. even as this race is titan. it's still a race that's within a couple percentage points in all of these. republicans are currently in the lead and mitchell says the latest batch of ballots show the path for democrats to overcome. those leads is becoming narrower. ultimately mitchell predicts. democrats won't pick up any new seats, but holding all the seats in california is somewhat of a victory for democrats, even if republicans hold the house as it currently looks like they will it will be the difference between them having maybe a three seat majority or four seat majority or five seat majority. which for kevin mccarthy can be a very big issue if republicans

do control the house it is california congressman kevin mccarthy that's once again poised to become. the sevenopolis on sunday current speaker nancy pelosi declined to say whether she'll seek a leadership position should democrats seek out a win right now that i'm not making any comments until this election is finished and we have a little more time to go. now pelosi also told stephanopoulos. she has no plans to leave congress as for when we might get a firm answer on some of these tight house races the votes must be counted and certified by december 16th, but we will likely get outcomes much sooner than that. michel predicts will know likely in the next few days or really? yeah, let's though is it normal for results to take this long? feels like it's not normal because i think we're used to things happening. so instantaneously for instance. we got the news some outcome the moment the polls close, but the reality is it does often take this long. we have 11 million people that voted in this state and we just often don't have as many tight races. so we're not paying as close

attention to how long it takes for these ballots and also signature verification on male and ballots takes so well, too and there's so much heightened awareness about ballot security now and exactly people are paying attention as well. actually. well tomorrow is the deadline for mail-in ballots to arrive if they were postmarked on or before election day, then the votes inside will count. this long return period is part of the reason why we're still waiting is liz said for final results on several races like oakland's mayor's race results release this evening show the front runners lead is shrinking a bit lauren taylor has about 52% of the vote and shang tao has about 48% friday. it was 53 to 47 abc 7 news reporter leslie. brinkley gives you a look at the process. dealing with ranked choice voting it was 10 candidates whittled down to two now with ranked choice voting pitting councilmember lauren taylor against council president xiang tao in the oakland mayor's race. neither candidate would comment

ready for next monday night's gaming against the cardinals in mexico city. of course game. you'll see right here on abc 7. so tune in wasn't pretty but it was gritty san francisco off and just two or five the red zone, but the defense they were flying all over over the field last night allow. just 52 total yards and 0 points after halftime. and while the niners would love to blow out every opponent wins. like this are a good sign for a team making a post-season push the whole goal is to if you can hold offense to zero points, you know, you have a good chance of winning the game. so they're all everybody's flying around. our defense is playing great in that second half you could just feel it and i think that gave us a lot of momentum is an offense too. just they kept getting stopped after stop and you know, we answered finally there's gonna be even more times like that where we're gonna be even even in a tougher situation throughout the season, you know, and that i think this is what bill's character in within teams and is going to set us up for success later on in the season. on the opposite side of the spectrum the raiders lost their seventh game of the year yesterday. there are six by one score when derek carr miss palo alto is devante adams on fourth and

sixth late in the game car. very emotional post game seemingly questioning some of his teammates efforts today raiders owner mark davis said, he will be patient with first-year head coach josh mcdaniels. mcdaniel says, they have to be better and that's on him. here's some of car in that emotional pressure yesterday. and for that to be the result. of all that effort it's hard. knowing what some guys are doing. and i wish everybody in that room felt the same way about this place. all right. tobacco now stephen curry was named western conference player the week for the 19th time in his career today after becoming the oldest player since michael jordan jordan have back-to-back 40 point games steph. he's still so good a 34 year old curry scored a season high 47 in the win over the kings last monday night following that up with 40 points in the win over cleveland on friday. steph extended his all-time nba record by making a three-pointer and his 200 first consecutive game. he's averaging 32 points again,

and that's second in the entire league and every game he's played. he's been the warriors leading scorer dubs are gonna host san antonio a matter of minutes tonight, but before tip off coach kurt described the improvements, he'd like to see from the struggling warriors. we can talk about the non-staff minutes, but to me the biggest issue right now is handling the details no matter who's on the floor defensively and then on offensive balls got to move a little bit more. i think it's getting stagnant at times and we're not getting great shots and the game's got to got to connect. and the 49ers kicked off the holiday season with their feast with the niners event happened last week in san jose. i was there along with a lot of players including fred warner brandon iuk teaming up with the kids at the ymca is a fun-filled day. you got football and other fun activities. i remember i had a couple people that i looked up to when i was a kid that came and talked to us and you get to carry that for a long time come out here. just have a good fun time with them and do something that maybe memorable for them and be that role model that they could look

up to even if it's for just and now we're so you know, i think it means it means a lot. got to get me a turkey hat like fred warner. it was such a great event last week if they served over 300 meals for realize that need it and then they have all the things that with the people there and it's just you can see them light up and it's a two-way thing because the players feel the same way and two of those guys. we're at ymca's when they were younger. so so they get it. yeah, they definitely get it. so it's good on the niners and all of our bayer teams are gonna be doing stuff like that this holiday season. i chris. right coming up tonight on abc 78. it's bachelor in paradise followed by breaking with the president the mike pence interview at 10 then stay with us for abc 7 news at 11:00. that is when you do it for this edition of abc 7 news. thanks for joining us on amadeus and i'm dan ashley for sandy patel chris alvarez all of us here. we appreciate your time. have a great evening. we'll see you for abc 7 news at 11.
