Blue tsunami officially crushes Republican control of US House of Representatives



The U.S. House of Representatives fell relatively early to Democratic control on election night.

NBC News projected that Democrats would take over more than 240 seats in the House and seize control of the lower chamber of Congress. They needed only 218 to take control.

'Let's get to work.'

Democrats are hoping to increase their wins and take the U.S. Senate as well.

Polling ahead of Election Day showed the favorability rating for President Donald Trump had fallen as low as 38% in some surveys. Voters were unhappy about the economic effects of the Iran conflict and inflation eroding the wage gains under the current administration.

CBS News projected Democrats would win control of the House as well. CBS estimated that Democrats would take 253 seats, far more than they needed for a majority.

Democrats will almost certainly block as much of the president's agenda as they can, and many have promised to use their newfound powers to investigate members of the administration and the president's supporters.

Early exit polling showed that the economy was the top concern for 39% of the respondents. An astounding 75% said they were "angry" or "dissatisfied" about the direction of the country.

In a post on Truth Social on Tuesday, the president blamed Fox News for what he said was negative coverage about the state of the country. He has also joked that if the U.S. voters rejected him, he would move to Israel and become its prime minister.

"Let's get to work," reads a post from House Democrats Tuesday night.

No Way To Run a House

If the parties fight each other to a draw in the gerrymandering wars, who wins? Democrats can probably carve about as many safe congressional seats out of blue states as Republicans can out of red states. More safe seats means narrower partisan majorities. In those conditions, losing just a few votes can be fatal, so the advantage belongs to whichever party is better at keeping its members onside.

The Democratic nominee in Colorado's competitive Eighth Congressional District, Manny Rutinel, frequently leans on his upbringing by a single mother on the campaign trail and in fundraising emails. He has left out any mention of his father, who is part of a powerful, long-running political dynasty in the Dominican Republic.
