CBS Predicts: Democrats Poised to Secure Largest House Majority Margin in Nearly Two Decades

On November 4, CBS News projected that Democrats have won control of the U.S. House of Representatives, ending the Republican Party’s full control of both chambers of Congress since the start of Trump’s second term. According to CBS News’ election analysis team, Democrats are expected to secure the largest House majority margin in nearly two decades. Reclaiming the House will allow Democrats to lead congressional committee investigations, conduct oversight of the federal government, and block parts of Trump’s legislative agenda.

Voting results show Democrats have won 220 House seats, surpassing the majority threshold.
