Republicans are predicted to lose their majority in the House of Representatives
Republicans are projected to lose their majority in the House of Representatives, with Democrats expected to take control. Hakeem Jeffries could become the first Black Speaker of the House. As of 4:30 AM CET, Democrats secured 116 of the 218 seats needed for a majority, while Republicans have 67. Democrats anticipate winning at least 230 seats, with some sources estimating nearly 240. This shift allows Democrats to initiate extensive investigations against President Trump starting in January, focusing on various issues including his family's business dealings and immigration enforcement actions.
