Republicans have won control of the U.S. House of Representatives, securing at least 218 seats needed for a majority, according to projections by media outlets including NBC News, CNN, ABC News, CBS News, Decision Desk HQ, and Edison Research. The GOP flipped seven seats to attain the majority. This victory gives the Republican Party control of both chambers of Congress—the House and the Senate—and the Presidency, creating a 'trifecta' in Washington. President-elect Donald Trump's party now holds significant power, allowing for a smoother implementation of the GOP agenda.
