House control shifts as Republicans near crucial victory threshold
DDHQ projects GOP winning House majority while Edison Research still counts final districts. Republicans already hold Senate control‚ setting stage for significant power-shift in Congress
DDHQʼs latest data shows GOP getting closer to House control with a not-yet-final count showing key wins (a fact that could re-shape Congressional power dynamics)
Edison Research reports Republicans holding 214 seats versus Democrats with 205; while 16 districts remain un-called. The magic number for majority control: 218 seats. GOP already secured Senate power with 52-46 lead in upper chamber
Donald Trumpʼs first term (back in 17-21) saw major tax-cuts implementation - these changes will run out in early 25. Both this win and Joe Bidens trillion-dollar infrastructure package happened when each party had full Congressional control
The last couple years showed how split-power makes basic tasks harder: even simple govt funding turned into a real head-scratcher. Congress didnt move forward much on new laws; its basic functions got stuck in political back-and-forth
