Scripps News and Decision Desk HQ predict that Republicans will maintain control of the House of Representatives when the 119th United States Congress is in session in 2025.

A party needs 218 seats to obtain a majority. As of Monday, November 11, Republicans have reached exactly 218 seats while Democrats have 209, according to projections from Scripps News and DDHQ.

Republicans reached the threshold after Juan Ciscomani became the projected winner in Arizona’s 6th Congressional District on Monday.

The projected victory in the House gives Republicans control of both chambers of the legislative branch and the executive branch of the federal government, making it easier for President-elect Donald Trump to advance his agenda.

Republicans rode a wave of anti-presidential sentiment to take control of the Senate and the presidency, both previously held by Democrats.

Led by Trump, Republicans campaigned on improving the economy and combating illegal immigration.

The large Republican victories mean that Democrats will face significant constraints. They will not be able to launch congressional investigations or pass key legislative initiatives on their own.
