Democratic Reps. Tim Walz and Collin Peterson have been projected winners in their House races, leaving Rep. Jim Oberstar's Eighth District race as the lone Minnesota congressional race still undecided.

All House incumbents in Minnesota have won thus far.

Walz was considered the most vulnerable Democrat for most of the election year, but the First District Republican avoided the Republican wave holding a seven-point lead over state Rep. Randy Demmer with just under two-thirds of the vote reported.

Peterson, a conservative Democrat in the Seventh District, had a 20-point lead on Republican Lee Byberg with a little under half the vote counted.

Currently, Oberstar is up 53-43 over challenger Chip Cravaack with 29 percent of the vote in.
