Democrats reclaim House of Representatives, Senate also within reach

CNN and NBC News predict a Democratic win in the House of Representatives, marking a return to Democratic control since 2022. Several democratic socialists, including Darializa Avila Chevalier, Claire Valdez, and Brad Lander, secured seats in New York with support from Mayor Zohran Mamdani. While polls forecast a Democratic victory, the extent of this win remains uncertain. Hakeem Jeffries is likely to become the first Black Speaker of the House, pending support from his party. The Senate results are still pending, but Democrats are also expected to gain ground there, although winning is less certain due to the need to capture states where Trump previously led significantly.
