Recent Congressional Election Results: Senate and House of Representatives Outcomes
Recent Congressional Election Results
Senate Results
Republicans have secured control of the U.S. Senate. This shift in power is significant as it gives the Republicans a majority in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, potentially allowing for a unified government under President Donald Trump, who has been declared the winner of the presidential election.
House of Representatives
The House of Representatives is still up for grabs. As of the latest updates, Democrats needed to gain a net of six districts to win a majority in the chamber, while Republicans could only lose a net of five districts to retain control. Key races, such as the one in Maine's 2nd Congressional District, remain too close to call, with incumbent Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Golden holding a slight lead over Republican state Rep. Austin Theriault.
