Republicans Secure House Majority, Boosting Trump's Influence

Republicans have gained control of the U.S. House of Representatives by securing 218 seats in the recent elections, solidifying their hold on Congress and the White House. This shift follows a narrow GOP majority in the previous term and was influenced by redistricting in several states. The election saw 25 races considered toss-ups, with a significant number of rematches and competitive races, particularly in states like California.
