The Republicans will keep control of the House of Representatives in a huge governmentwide sweep this election.
Republicans will control all three branches of government after Trump won the 2024 election in a landslide with huge down ballot victories.
Congressional races are still outstanding but Decision Desk HQ has projected the GOP to win the House with at least 218 seats as of Monday evening.
Reuters reported:
President-elect Donald Trump’s Republican Party will control both houses of Congress when he takes office in January, Decision Desk HQ projected on Monday, enabling him to push an agenda of slashing taxes and shrinking the federal government.
Republicans had already secured a U.S. Senate majority of at least 52-46, Edison Research projected, and DDHQ projected they would hold at least 218 seats in the House of Representatives, with eight races yet to be called in Tuesday’s election.
It appears Alaska GOP candidate Nick Begich has unseated Democrat Mary Peltola, however, AP still hasn’t called the race.
Even under the friendliest assumptions I can think of, I still find Peltola coming up fractionally short in this race. It’s possible that the remaining vote is even bluer than I can reasonably imagine, but that’s extremely unlikely, and for now…#AKAL: GOP flip (D -> R). https://t.co/PBnoD1HTpU
