Republicans are on track of keeping control of the US House of Representatives, according to the projection by the election analytics website Decision Desk HQ.
The win would bolster President-elect Donald Trump’s decisive victory over his Democratic rival, Vice President Kamala Harris, and add to the GOP control of the Senate and the 6-3 conservative majority in the Supreme Court.
The GOP is expected to win its 218th seat in the 435-seat lower chamber on Monday. This means that the party would remain the leading force in the House despite losing four seats to the Democrats on November 5. Trump thanked House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday, praising him for “doing a terrific job.”
The Democrats lost control of the Senate last week, with the GOP winning 53 of the 100 seats. The control of both houses of Congress will be crucial for crafting legislation aimed at delivering Trump’s agenda on the much-debated issues, such as migration and the economy.
In a statement on Wednesday, Johnson said that the “historic election has proven that a majority of Americans are eager for secure borders, lower costs, peace through strength, and a return to common sense.” He added that Republicans were looking forward to working with Trump as a “unified government.”
American news organizations and analysts have speculated that the triumph of Trump and the GOP was a sign of a broader political realignment of the country. Multiple Democratic strategists and allies have suggested that voters were deeply dissatisfied with inflation and have rejected the “woke” agenda championed by left-leaning activists and progressives withing the Democratic Party.
