Democrats on Track for Largest House Majority Since 2008

Democrats are on track to secure their largest House majority since 2008, having won 253 seats to Republicans' 155, with 27 races still uncalled and a potential total exceeding 260 seats. The gains include flipping 52 districts Trump won in 2024, unseating at least 40 incumbents, and winning in states like Iowa and Missouri that Trump carried by double digits. This would give Democrats roughly an 85-seat majority, their biggest since the early 1990s. The results are a major blow to Trump, who campaigned heavily but faced voter blame for high costs. Democrats plan investigations into his administration, while Trump has said he accepts the results but signaled he will use his veto power.
