Democrats win control of the House of Representatives

Democrats won control of the House with roughly 244 seats, their largest majority in nearly two decades, in what NBC News calls a stunning rebuke to President Trump over his immigration crackdown, the Iran war, and tariffs. Hakeem Jeffries is set to become the first Black speaker, and Democrats plan aggressive oversight, subpoena power, and possibly a third impeachment. The Senate remains undecided.
