Republicans lead in race for the House – but it’s not over yet

While we know Donald Trump is set to become the next US president, and that Republicans have retaken control of the Senate – there’s one big race left to follow: the House of Representatives.

If Republicans take control of the House, that would put the party in control of Congress and the White House.

The race is leaning Republican, according to various US outlets including our media partner CBS, but we won’t know until the remaining seats are called.

  • For context: Congress is the legislative body, which is split into the 100-member upper chamber called the Senate and the 435-member lower chamber called the House. Every seat in the House – which was Republican-controlled before the election – is up for grabs. A party needs 218 seats for a majority.
