Republicans Have Tight Control of the House

The Cook Polit­ic­al Re­port notes the scope of the GOP’s con­gres­sion­al vic­tor­ies: Only 15 of the 241 House Re­pub­lic­ans won their races by less than a 10-point mar­gin, even though nearly two dozen of them rep­res­en­ted dis­tricts that Hil­lary Clin­ton car­ried.

Overall, House Re­pub­lic­ans won 51% of the na­tion­al vote, and will be rep­res­ent­ing 55% of the seats in the lower cham­ber.
