WASHINGTON, ​Nov 3 (Reuters) - Democrat Janelle Stelson defeated ‌US Representative Scott Perry ⁠of Pennsylvania on Tuesday, ‌according to US ‌media, flipping a Republican-held seat in a ​presidential battleground state.

Stelson is a former ⁠television news anchor who narrowly lost ​to Perry in 2024.

The Harrisburg-area seat is ​one of ‌four Republican-held Pennsylvania districts that Democrats ⁠sought to flip this cycle. President Donald ⁠Trump carried Perry's district by ​5 percentage points in 2024.

Nationally, Democrats need to net ‌four seats to win control of ‌the US ⁠House of ‌Representatives.
