Republicans have secured a narrow majority in the U.S. House of Representatives, according to an Associated Press projection. This victory marks a significant moment for House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), following a period of instability and leadership challenges in the chamber. Despite the slim margin, Republicans will retain control, positioning them to influence the legislative agenda.

The implications of this House majority are notable for President-elect Donald Trump, who is set to enter the White House with full control of both chambers of Congress. This political alignment gives Trump a clear path to advance his right-wing policy priorities, potentially enabling sweeping legislative changes early in his administration.

In addition to the House gains, Republicans also flipped four Senate seats, boosting their control of the Senate to 53 seats. This marks a shift in power in the upper chamber, where the GOP has not held a majority in four years. With control of both chambers, Republicans are poised to pursue their legislative and policy goals more effectively.

The key victories that pushed Republicans over the top came from Reps. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.) and Juan Ciscomani (R-Ariz.), ensuring that the GOP reached the critical 218-seat threshold.

While the party is expected to secure a few more seats, their majority will remain precarious, and the dynamics in the House will be further shaped by key appointments made by Trump, including Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) as U.N. ambassador and Rep. Michael Waltz (R-Fla.) as national security adviser.
