“Republicans are on the cusp of regaining the House majority for the 119th Congress and securing total control of Washington, days after the party won the presidency and control of the Senate,” the Washington Post reports.
“The current balance of power in the House is 214 Republicans and 203 Democrats, with 19 races remaining uncalled by the AP. Republicans need to win four of them to secure a majority; Democrats need to win 15.”
