Republicans Secure Senate Majority, House Control Still Undecided

Senate Democrats hold press confrence on new foreign aid policy

As the dust settles from the recent elections, the political landscape in the United States is undergoing significant changes. While Republicans have secured the White House and flipped the Senate, the fate of the House of Representatives hangs in the balance as votes continue to be counted.

Currently, there are 16 House races that have yet to be projected, leaving the control of the lower chamber of Congress uncertain. Republicans are just four seats away from maintaining their majority, while Democrats are 13 seats shy of seizing control.

In the Senate, Republicans have emerged victorious, reclaiming the majority that has eluded them since 2021. With only two races - Arizona and Pennsylvania - still pending, Republicans are set to hold at least 52 seats in the chamber.
