Democrats Win House Control, Vow to Combat Trump
Confirmed
In Short: Democrats won control of the House of Representatives, delivering a rebuke to President Donald Trump.
Democrats secured control of the House of Representatives, marking their largest majority in nearly two decades, according to NBC News projections.
The party’s victory in the Senate, as projected by NBC News, means Democrats will control both chambers of Congress.
The projected Democratic majority in the House stands at around 255 seats, well above the 218 needed for control.
The party’s success in the midterms marks a significant turnaround for Democrats, who had previously lost control of the House in 2010.
