It is still unclear whether Republicans or Democrats will claim control of the US House of Representatives after Republicans won the White House and control of the Senate.

Much of President-elect Donald Trump's agenda hinges on whether his party can control the House of Representatives, allowing Republicans to have unified control of the federal legislature and the White House. As it stands, Republicans have won 206 seats to 191 for Democrats.

Republicans need 12 seats to end their "Red Wave" and gain control of the House of Representatives after holding a historically slim majority for the past two years. They already have at least 52 seats in the 100-member Senate.

Democrats, meanwhile, face an uphill battle to secure 27 seats to reach the 218 needed for a majority in the House of Representatives.

Trump has claimed a landslide victory over Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, surpassing the 270 Electoral College votes needed to win the White House. He also became the first Republican candidate to win the popular vote in two decades. He currently has 295 delegates compared to Harris' 226 after the Nov. 5 election.

Nevada and Arizona remain undecided, though both lean in Trump's favor.

Trump will be inaugurated for a second term in the White House on January 20, 2025. Harris, as vice president, is scheduled to oversee the swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol. /AA
