"We knew that to keep the House and sustain our majority we would have to defy more than a century pf midterm history,” Speaker Mike Johnson stated, acknowledging the Republican loss.

To control the House, a party needs at least 218 seats. In the previous Congress, the Republicans held a slim majority, while the Democrats held 214 seats. At the time of publication, the Democrats had already flipped eight seats previously held by the Republicans.
