On November 11, Decision Desk HQ predicted that the Republican Party had won all 218 seats in the US House of Representatives, thereby continuing to hold the majority in the next term.
To win a majority in the House of Representatives, a party would need at least 218 seats. According to Decision Desk HQ, Republicans are projected to finish the House race with 220 seats, while Democrats are projected to have 215 seats.
With the above projections, the next term of the United States will have a president and both houses of Congress controlled by the Republican Party, creating conditions for passing policies. Currently, the votes in the House of Representatives are still being counted and there is no final result. In addition to Decision Desk HQ, as of 7:00 p.m. on November 11 (US time), a number of other major media outlets are projecting the results that the Republican Party has 214 seats and the Democratic Party has 204 seats.

Democrats also controlled both houses of Congress and the White House after the 2020 elections, but Republicans won the House of Representatives in the 2022 midterm elections.
According to The Washington Post on October 10, this year's election victories first of all make it easier for the Republican Party to pass policies on southern border security, as well as adjust the tax law that President-elect Donald Trump introduced in 2017, with many laws expiring at the end of 2025.

Exactly how many seats the Republicans hold in the House of Representatives is expected to have a major impact on what policies the Republicans will be able to push through with their majority, given the small gap in seats between Republicans and Democrats.
Top Republicans in both houses of Congress have been discussing for months bills they want to pass and present to Trump in his first 100 days in office. Those plans include extending tax cuts, increasing funding for the border wall, repealing climate initiatives and promoting school choice, according to The Hill .
