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

Al Jazeera  

Republicans are five seats short of a majority in the House of Representatives, with 19 races still uncalled. Republicans are edging closer to unified control of the United States government after winning another seat in the US House of Representatives. With Donald Trump’s win in the November 5 presidential election and with the Republicans also securing control of the Senate or upper chamber of Congress, retaining the House would give Republicans a powerful mandate. Meanwhile, the Democrats secured 203 seats in the House, after the party’s Greg Stanton won re-election in Arizona’s fourth congressional district on Sunday. Writing on his Truth Social social network, Trump said he “will not be inviting” former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley to join his team.
