BREAKING: The Republican Party will win control of U.S. House, NBCNews projects, handing President Biden a divided Congress after Democrats kept control of the Senate in last week's midterm elections.
Republicans finally cemented their takeover a week after polls closed on Election Day, fueled by Democrats' surprising strength around the country. Republicans had hopes of sweeping into power with dozens of wins, but instead will have only a thin majority, complicating their ability to function in the House chamber.
The results came down to a handful of tight races. It was a district in Los Angeles County, California that finally put Republicans over the edge. But he can count on allies in the Democratic Senate to confirm his judicial and administration appointments, even if his legislative agenda is effectively dead in the water thanks to the GOP House.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell sought on Wednesday to settle discontent among his members. He won re-election to remain the top Republican in the chamber, a post he's held since 2007.
