The projected House shift represents a major political setback for Trump and Republicans and could reshape the balance of power in Washington. Hakeem Jeffries is on track to become the first Black Speaker of the House, while Democrats prepare to use their majority to pursue extensive oversight of the administration. The outcome follows an election campaign centered on the direction of Trump’s second term, and the unresolved Senate contest will determine how far either party can advance legislation.
