Democrats win control of the House of Representatives
Democrats are projected to win approximately 248 seats, the first time in Trump’s second term that the party won’t control both chambers.
Democrats won control of the House of Representatives with what could be their largest majority in nearly two decades, NBC News projects, as voters delivered a stunning rebuke to President Donald Trump and Republicans. The House projection is based on an analysis that Democrats will win approximately 248 House seats. When the party takes control of the chamber on Jan. 3, it will mark the first time in Trump’s second term that he won’t have full control of Congress. With their new majority, Democrats will take control of House committees, gaining subpoena power and the ability to conduct oversight investigations into Trump’s administration.

- Democrats needed to win a net of just three seats to take back the majority.
- They flipped many GOP-held seats, most in districts that Trump carried in the 2024 election.
