Democrat Rep. Susie Lee defeated Republican Drew Johnson to win reelection in Nevada's 3rd Congressional District during Tuesday's general election.
The Associated Press called the race for Lee shortly before 4 p.m. ET on Thursday.
With 95% of the vote counted, Decision Desk HQ showed Lee with 51.4% and Johnson with 48.7%.
Overall, Republicans led 216-204, just two seats shy of securing a majority in the new Congress with 15 seats still to be decided.
Lee, running in a purple district, defeated tax analyst and conservative opinion columnist Johnson to secure a fourth term in the U.S. House.
Lee first won the Clark County seat in 2018, succeeding Democrat Jacky Rosen, who became U.S. senator.
