Currently, the Republican Party has already secured 210 seats in the House of Representatives, only needing to gain an additional 8 seats to maintain control of the House of Representatives.
The ability of Trump to advance his legislative agenda remains uncertain, as the counting of dozens of congressional seats is still ongoing, and these elections will determine which party controls the House of Representatives.
Although Trump achieved a stunning victory in this week's presidential election and the Republican Party also holds a majority in the Senate, many election results of House members have not yet been announced. The Democratic Party needs to regain control of the House of Representatives in order to counterbalance Trump and the Senate controlled by Republicans.
It is worth noting that the Republican Party already has 210 seats in the House of Representatives, needing only 8 more seats to retain the majority position.
Given the scale of the Republican victories on Tuesday night, many non-partisan analysts expect that the House of Representatives may still be controlled by the Republican Party. Trump has expanded his lead in 48 out of 50 states, becoming the first Republican presidential candidate to win the popular vote in 20 years.
Experts from the Cook Political Report wrote in a memo on Wednesday, "The most likely outcome is a third consecutive victory for the Republicans, with the Republicans continuing to hold a slim majority in the House of Representatives".
Donald Trump's close ally, current Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, said that the Republican Party 'is ready to take control of the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives.' It is expected that if Republicans continue to control the House of Representatives, he will continue to serve as Speaker of the House.
In an interview on Wednesday, Johnson said, 'President Trump wants to be proactive, he wants to achieve major victories, we are excited about this,' he said. 'We will start attacking because I firmly believe we will control the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives, I think we will win the majority of seats.'
House Democratic leader Jeffries expressed a more cautious opinion. If the Democratic Party can regain control of the House of Representatives, he may become Speaker. He said, 'In the 119th Congress, it is uncertain who will control the House of Representatives, we must count every vote, and wait for the results from Oregon, Arizona, and California.'
Many heated congressional election results have been delayed because states continue to count mail-in ballots as long as they are postmarked before Election Day. Historically, California has been slow in tallying votes, with nearly 12 elections still pending.
This delay is not unprecedented. Two years ago, after the 2022 midterm elections, the Associated Press took over a week to announce that Republicans had regained control of the House of Representatives.
