GOP Secures Narrow House Majority Amidst Democrat Gains and Challenges
In a tightly contested series of elections, Republicans have managed to retain a slim majority in the U.S. House of Representatives following the decisive final race that saw Democrats make notable gains. With the Republican majority now sitting at 220 seats, analysts warn that this historically small margin could present significant challenges for House Speaker Mike Johnson and the GOP going forward. Former President Trump, whose influence looms large, may complicate the agenda as his ability to sway House members has already led to concerns about party unity. As the GOP braces for potential chaos due to their razor-thin majority, the impact of gerrymandering and the shifting political landscape continue to raise questions regarding their legislative ambitions.
