Republicans maintain control of the US House of Representatives
The Republican Party has secured a majority of the seats in the United States House of Representatives, having already secured the White House and the U.S. Senate.
The Hill Decision Desk HQ projected on Monday evening that the Republican Party will get at least 218 seats in the House, which is the minimum number needed to have a majority.
Describing the Republican election victories as a “trifecta,” The Hill acknowledged that the final tally of the House remains “uncertain” as ballots in California continue to be counted.
In what many considered a historic political comeback, President-elect Donald Trump defeated Democrat Vice President Kamala Harris to become the next president.
Trump’s victory marks the first time a candidate was elected to non-consecutive presidential terms since Grover Cleveland in the late 19th century.
It also marks the first time in U.S. history that a convicted felon won a presidential election, as Trump was found guilty in May on 34 charges by a New York jury in a “hush money” case. Trump denies any wrongdoing and is appealing the case.
