Control of the U.S. House remains uncertain, with a few tightly contested races poised to determine whether Republicans achieve full control of Congress alongside the White House. Republicans clinched the Senate majority, flipping seats in key states, while House Speaker Mike Johnson voiced confidence in a GOP-led House.
If Republicans secure the House, they aim to push forward Trump’s ambitious agenda, including tax cuts, aggressive immigration policies, and a revamp of federal regulations. However, Johnson faces challenges in a closely divided chamber, where internal conflicts have previously disrupted GOP leadership.
With a final House majority still undetermined, Democrats hope to win remaining races in Western states like California. Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries emphasized the importance of counting every vote as the country awaits a decision on who will control Congress’s lower chamber.
