Updated November 3, 2026, 9:10 p.m. EST: Added confirmation of the winners from AP and other reporting.
Democrat Chris Rabb has won Pennsylvania’s 3rd Congressional District, The Philadelphia Inquirer reports, confirming an earlier Fox News projection. Democratic Rep. Kathy Castor has won Florida’s 14th District, the Associated Press reports. Both seats remain in Democratic hands.
Rabb, a Pennsylvania state representative, has defeated independent Dennis Mahoney in the Philadelphia-based district and will succeed retiring Democratic Rep. Dwight Evans. Rabb won a competitive Democratic primary against state Sen. Sharif Street and physician Ala Stanford, Fox reported.
First elected to the state House in 2016, Rabb campaigned on Medicare for All, labor protections and climate policy. Mahoney has a background in nonprofit work and community development; Republicans did not field a general-election candidate in the district, according to Fox.
Castor wins under changed boundaries
In Florida, Castor has defeated Republican Mike Beltran. She has represented the Tampa area in Congress since 2007, but Tuesday’s contest took place under redrawn boundaries that made the district more favorable to Republicans, Fox reported.
The network said the new district removed much of Castor’s former constituency and included territory that Trump carried by almost 12 percentage points in 2024. Republicans had targeted the seat as a potential pickup.
These are media race calls, not certified election results. This report includes no vote totals, and the two calls do not establish control of the House, which depends on the outcomes of individual races nationwide.
