On November 8, midterm elections took place in the United States, which showed Republican successes in the race for the House of Representatives. Meanwhile, the fate of the Senate remains unclear.

All 435 members of the House of Representatives are up for election, and control of the House requires 218 seats.

Preliminary data indicates that Republicans are securing 219 mandates, which suggests control over the House. Democrats may hope for 216 seats, as projected by NBC.
