Republicans win House, delivering Trump a trifecta!

Republicans are projected to keep control of the House of Representatives, handing the party total control of Washington with President-elect Trump back in the White House in January.
Decision Desk HQ projected the GOP would hold the House by winning its 218th seat on Monday, the number needed for a majority in the lower chamber.

The result is a major win for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who skyrocketed up from obscurity to lead the House GOP not only legislatively, but also in a large role in its campaign infrastructure.
Republicans saved some of their most vulnerable incumbents, like Reps. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) and David Valadao (R-Calif.), while defeating several vulnerable Democratic incumbents. State Rep. Ryan Mackenzie (R-Pa.) unseated Rep. Susan Wild (D-Pa.), while businessman Rob Bresnahan defeated Rep. Matt Cartwright (D-Pa.).

Those results made up for some GOP losses. Three first-term New York Republicans — Reps. Anthony D’Esposito, Marc Molinaro and Brandon Williams — lost their reelection bids, as did Rep. Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore.).

WASHINGTON, Nov 11 (Reuters) – Data provider DDHQ projected on Monday that President-elect Donald Trump’s Republican Party had won a majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, which would signal that Republicans would hold a majority in both chambers of Congress.
Edison Research has not yet projected House control. It has projected that Republicans will hold at least 214 seats, including two currently held by Democrats, with Democrats holding at least 205, with 16 uncalled. The smallest House majority is 218.

Republicans had already secured a U.S. Senate majority of at least 52-46, Edison Research projected.
During his first presidential term in 2017-2021, Trump’s biggest achievement was sweeping tax cuts that are due to expire next year.
That legislation and Democratic President Joe Biden’s signature $1 trillion infrastructure law both came during periods when their parties controlled both chambers of Congress.
