In the House of Representatives, the GOP has a 218-plus-one (nominal independent) majority, versus 212 Democrats, with four vacancies. Another caveat is that the GOP continues to benefit from minimal exposure in the House boom-and-bust cycle. In 2018, the Democrats won 41 seats in the House, then lost 14 and 9 seats in successive elections in 2020 and 2022. The Republicans won 9 seats to gain control in 2022, only to lose two seats in the 2024 elections.
