NBC News projects that Democrats will take control of the House next year, giving them the power to investigate Trump and advance legislation to check his policies.
Democrats won control of the House of Representatives with what could be their largest majority in nearly two decades, NBC News projects, as voters delivered a stunning rebuke to President Donald Trump and Republicans.
The House projection is based on an analysis that Democrats will win approximately 255 House seats — an estimate that could still tick up or down by a few seats but will be well beyond the 218 needed to secure a majority.



Dems have the senate and house. Trump has veto, but we’ll see if the Repubes are willing to overuse it, knowing what a spanking they got this far. There is a small chance of them showing restraint to avoid giving the dems the white house too next year.
The real question is will the dems suck on purpose like they usually do. Schumer is only one of them.
