While some races are yet to be decided, the Republican Party has met the 218-seat threshold needed for majority.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican victory will also end the speakership of Rep. Nancy Pelosi\u2019s (D-CA), who has served as the second in the presidential line of succession since Democrats took control of the House in the 2018 midterm elections.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans were expected to sweep in the House, but following a series of unexpected losses in tight races across the country, the margin of victory is down to just a few seats.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans campaigned on the state of the economy, inflation, gas prices, against the record numbers of migrants crossing the southern border, and against \u201cwoke\u201d leftist policies impacting the nation\u2019s schools.<\/p>\n<p>FiveThirtyEight <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.fivethirtyeight.com\/2022-election-forecast\/house\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">estimated<\/a> in the days ahead of the election that Republicans had an 85% chance of taking over the chamber \u2014 though many believed it would be by a significantly larger margin.<\/p>\n<p>Historically, midterm elections have fared poorly for the party in power. In 2010, in the second year of President Barack Obama\u2019s term, the Republican Party swept with 242 House seats against the Democrats\u2019 193 seats. In 2018, following the election of President Donald Trump, Democrats gained 40 seats \u2014 though the number may have been larger than otherwise expected due to a high number of Republicans retiring.<\/p>\n<p>The GOP\u2019s narrow win will lead to some changes in the next year. Republicans have already <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/republicans-vow-investigate-fauci-steps-december\/story?id=88741486\">vowed<\/a> to investigate Dr. Anthony Fauci if the party won a majority. Others have also campaigned with the goal of investigating Hunter Biden, the president\u2019s son.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republicans have secured a narrow majority in the House of Representatives, according to a projection from DecisionDeskHQ, ending the uniform Democratic control of Congress.
