As of this morning, Dems are expected to maintain control of the House of Representatives but they’ll lost at least 6 seats:

7 races are still outstanding according to the Cook Political Report.
Which brings us to the Fox News Decision Desk which said on election night that Dems were poised to expand their majority by 5 seats:
I've still seen no explanation regarding how the Fox News Decision Desk got this projection so wrong on Election night. Polls were still open in a lot of places when this call was made.
