U.S. House of Representatives votes...Republican 220, Democratic 215 Seats

Republicans won 220 seats and Democrats 215 seats in the federal House of Representatives election, which was held along with the presidential election on the 5th of last month.

The Associated Press reported that Democratic candidate Adam Gray defeated Republican incumbent Representative John Duarte in California's 13th Congressional District, confirming his victory, and that the vote for the U.S. House of Representatives has been completed.

As a result, Republicans will have 220 seats and 215 Democrats in the 119th Congressional House, which opens on January 3 next year.

However, Trump nominated Representative Mike Waltz as his national security adviser and Representative Elise Sturpanic as his ambassador to the United Nations, and Matt Gates, who resigned after being nominated for justice secretary, will also be vacant, leading to a by-election next year.

Bloomberg predicted that the number of seats in the House of Representatives would effectively be 217 Republicans and 215 Democrats by the beginning of Trump's term, so if even one Republican leaves the vote, the Republican Party's independent handling of laws and budgets could be stranded.
