Republicans Secure Slim Majority in House

Republicans have secured control of the House, achieving a trifecta with the presidency and the Senate, albeit with a slim majority that may complicate legislative efforts. The GOP confirmed at least 218 seats, with some races still too close to call, while Democrats acknowledged their defeat despite running aggressive campaigns. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries noted that the narrow margin allows for minimal Republican flexibility in governance. The incoming Republican agenda is expected to focus on tax cuts, immigration controls, and regulatory reductions, with Trump endorsing Speaker Mike Johnson to lead the House. However, internal divisions within the GOP, particularly from its far-right members, pose risks to unified action. Additionally, the Republican win limits the scope of potential Democratic oversight of Trump's presidency, including issues like aid to Ukraine.
