BREAKING: The GOP will win enough seats to regain majority control of the US House, ABCNews projects. The Senate has already been called for the Democrats. Updates:
Despite other midterm disappointments, that marks a major victory for the party that's been the chamber's minority since 2019 -- and will be a blow to President Joe Biden's agenda in Congress.
Several House Republicans have already said they intend to investigate Hunter Biden, the president's son, and look into the administration's policies on COVID-19 and the southern border. McCarthy unveiled his party's vision for Republican rule ahead of the midterms. Their "Commitment to America" plan focused on four key areas: creating an "economy that's strong," "a nation that's safe," "a future that's built on freedom" and "a government that's accountable."
Republicans had been favored for months to win back control of the chamber, according to FiveThirtyEight's forecast. Midterms have historically been a referendum on the president's party.
