House Election Results 2024: Republicans Take Back Majority, Democrats Retain Senate
In a closely watched election, Republicans regained control of the House of Representatives in the 2024 midterm elections, while Democrats retained a narrow majority in the Senate.
The GOP flipped 13 seats, giving them a 222-213 majority in the House. Democrats lost several key swing districts, including those held by Reps. Elissa Slotkin (MI), Abigail Spanberger (VA), and Matt Cartwright (PA).
In the Senate, Democrats held on to their 51-49 majority, despite losing a seat in West Virginia. Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) was defeated by Republican challenger Patrick Morrisey. Democrats picked up a seat in Pennsylvania, with Lt. Gov. John Fetterman defeating Republican Mehmet Oz.
The election results were seen as a referendum on President Biden’s first two years in office. Republicans campaigned on the economy, inflation, and crime, while Democrats focused on abortion rights, gun control, and healthcare.
The GOP’s victory in the House gives them significant leverage in the legislative process. They will have the power to block President Biden’s agenda and launch investigations into his administration.
The Senate’s continued Democratic majority means that President Biden will still be able to appoint judges and confirm cabinet members. However, he will likely face more resistance from Republicans on other issues.
The 2024 midterm elections were marked by high voter turnout and intense polarization. The results will have a significant impact on the political landscape in the United States for the next two years.
