thehill.com —

Democrats will control both the Senate and the House of Representatives starting Jan. 3, according to Decision Desk HQ, with the party winning most high-profile races nationwide. Decision Desk HQ projects Democrats will hold 258 House seats to the GOP's 177, and a 55-45 Senate majority, though some key races remain undecided. Democratic victories included the Texas, Kansas, Iowa, Michigan, Georgia, and Maine Senate and gubernatorial contests. President Trump congratulated Democrats on their wins in a call with CBS News but stressed he "wasn't on the ballot" and claimed, "if I was, we would have won." The exact size of Democratic majorities is still being determined.
