With US House election gains, Republicans close in on unified power
Briefly

Republicans are edging closer to a majority in the House after securing another seat, bringing their count to 213. This positions them for a powerful legislative agenda.

Democrats currently hold 202 seats, but with 20 races still uncalled, they would need to win virtually all competitive races to block Republican control in the House.
Eyeing unified power, Trump has been meeting candidates for future roles but has ruled out bringing back senior figures known for their hawkish foreign policy views.
