Media: Democrats reclaim the House of Representatives. Trump ready to accept the results
According to NBC forecasts, Democrats have gained seven seats from Republicans, needing four more for a majority. The final seat distribution may be 248 to 187 in favor of Democrats, marking a gain of 34 seats. Democrats are winning in traditionally Republican strongholds, with notable victories in Indiana, Kentucky, and North Carolina. An anonymous White House official commented on the results, stating that President Trump's absence from the ballot affected voter turnout. Trump expressed that if he had been on the ballot, Republicans would have won decisively. Former Republican congressman Charlie Dent noted that the election results reflect a rejection of Republicans rather than support for Democrats, suggesting a potential shift in the Republican Party's direction.
