Republicans have clinched a majority in the House of Representatives with the election of Juan Ciscomani in Arizona. This victory gives the party enough seats for a majority, with Republicans also leading in several other races as of press time. If current results hold, the party may hold up to 222 seats.
The Republican Party is set to lose a few lawmakers, as President Trump has named Representatives Matt Gaetz, Elise Stefanik, and Mike Waltz to executive branch roles. This means they will have to resign their seats. Gaetz, who has been nominated by Trump for the position of Attorney General, has already submitted his resignation letter, effective immediately.
