Democrats project at least 250 House seats, largest majority since 1990s

Democrats will control at least 250 House seats, CNN projects, securing their largest majority since the early 1990s after flipping additional seats in Tuesday's midterm elections. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, expected to lead the chamber in January, acknowledged President Trump could veto Democratic legislation but warned Republicans would face worse electoral losses in 2028 if they obstructed efforts to lower costs and end corruption. Democrats are balancing plans to investigate the Trump administration with a focus on kitchen-table issues, while some Republicans blame immigration enforcement messaging and unaddressed costs for their losses.
