According to the latest results from the Associated Press (AP), the Republican Party in the United States is expected to retain control of the House of Representatives. As of press time, Republicans were leading in 14 out of the 27 races that were yet to be called, putting them within reach of securing the majority. Betting site Polymarket also gave Republicans a 98.5% chance of winning the House. Several races in different states favored Republican candidates, including those with crypto-aligned backing from the Fairshake super PAC. If these results hold, Democrats would need to win all their races in California and other districts to regain the majority. Republican control of the House would complete their trifecta after flipping the Senate and the White House in the 2024 election cycle.
