The battle for control of the US House of Representatives is leaning toward a Republican majority as results from close races continue to come in.

According to Decision Desk HQ, Republicans have a 90% chance of winning the House, which, if true, would give the republican party total control of the legislative and executive branches of government.

Key GOP Victories: Republicans achieved notable wins, including Rep. Don Bacon’s re-election in Nebraska and several key districts in Pennsylvania. Democratic incumbents in targeted races, like Susan Wild and Matt Cartwright, conceded to their Republican challengers, boosting GOP hopes for House control.

Democratic Wins in Battlegrounds: Despite GOP gains, Democrats succeeded in defending some vulnerable seats, notably in New York and Michigan. Democrats also retained control of critical “toss-up” seats, such as those held by Reps. Pat Ryan in New York and Jared Golden in Maine.

Officials react: In a statement, Speaker Mike Johnson said, “As more results come in it is clear that, as we have predicted all along, Republicans are poised to have unified government in the White House, Senate, and House. House Republicans have been successful in securing critical flips in swing states including Pennsylvania and Michigan, while our battle-tested incumbents have secured re-election from coast to coast. The latest data and trends indicate that when all the votes are tabulated, Republicans will have held our majority, even though we faced a map with 18 Biden-won seats.”

House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said, “Last night the American people spoke loud and clear and resoundingly rejected the disastrous far-left direction of the Biden-Harris Administration. As returns continue to come in, it appears that voters have handed Republicans unified control of Washington, with House Republicans expected to hold our majority.”

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D) has expressed optimism that the House may sway to Democrats. In a statement, he said, “The party that will hold the majority in the House of Representatives in January 2025 has yet to be determined, We must count every vote.”
