Republicans are clinging to a slim majority in the House and are defending 15 seats seen as toss-ups. No state has more swing seats than California.

Federal law enforcement and swing-state election officials both reported bomb threats to polling stations Tuesday, saying they believed the threats originated in Russia.

It was a quiet afternoon in Kamala Harris' Brentwood neighborhood, which soon could be the site of her Western White House.
