Republicans in the lead in fight to control the House
The Independent|November 09, 2024
Republicans held on to a narrow edge yesterday as election officials tallied the final votes that will determine control of the US House of Representatives - and could see Donald Trump's party win a clean sweep, having already taken the Senate and the White House.

Republicans in the lead in fight to control the House

Full control of Congress would give Mr Trump great leeway to pursue policies including sweeping tax cuts, energy deregulation, and border security controls. If Democrats were to capture a majority – which would require them to win 18 of the 24 as-yet uncalled seats – it would give them a bulwark to push back against the incoming president.

Republicans have secured at least 211 seats, seven short of the majority in the 435-member chamber, with 24 races left to be called, according to projections by Edison Research.
