Republicans projected to keep control of House as Trump prepares to implement agenda; Democrats lost their bid to win control of the House of Representatives
The Fox News Decision Desk has now projected that Republicans will keep their majority in the House of Representatives.
The number of seats the party will hold depends on the outcome in a handful of remaining districts.
There are nine races yet to be called. They are: Alaska’s at-large district, California’s 9th, 13th, 21st, and 45th districts, Iowa’s 1st district, Maine’s 2nd district, Ohio’s 9th district and Oregon’s 5th district.
Republicans soared to the 218 threshold for majority after Republican Juan Ciscomani was elected in Arizona’s 6th District. The first-term Republican won a rematch against Democrat Kirsten Engel, whom Ciscomani narrowly defeated in the 2022 midterms.
Mike Johnson, whose rise to speaker last year ended a leadership battle in the House, is likely to continue serving as the 56th Speaker.
