Republicans Retain Control of House of Representatives

Recent projections confirm that Republicans will retain control of the U.S. House of Representatives, reaching the necessary 218 seats after securing key victories in California and Arizona. With Republicans holding a slim majority of 220 seats compared to 212 for Democrats, President-elect Donald Trump will have significant legislative power, facilitating his agenda amidst a Republican-controlled Congress. This power shift follows the Republicans' recent takeover of the Senate, consolidating their influence in Washington. Key races remain closely contested, with some still undecided, particularly in Alaska and California, where margins are tight. The ongoing dynamics suggest potential shifts in legislative priorities and decision-making for the upcoming congressional session.
