Republicans regained control of the House of Representative more than a week after Election Day.
This means the Republicans will have full control of Washington in 2025.
In addition to Donald Trump winning the presidential election, the Republicans won the Senate election by 53-47.
A win by Republican Representative Juan Ciscomani in Arizona gave Republicans the 218 seats needed for a majority of the House’s 435 lawmakers.
The result shows the parties effectively fought to a standstill. In New York, Democrats saw gains in battleground districts on Long Island and upstate. George Whitesides, a Democratic businessman, defeated GOP freshman Rep. Mike Garcia, a former Navy pilot, in an exurban Southern California district.
The Republicans flipped two seats in Pennsylvania, one in Colorado and one in Michigan.
On Wednesday, Trump endorsed House Speaker Mike Johnson to remain in his post, in an attempt to unify Republican lawmakers and avoid a replay of the fights that dragged down the party over the past two years.
