A district-by-district analysis by TV 2 indicates Donald Trump's Republican Party would lose control of the US House of Representatives if midterms were held today.

An analysis of all 435 U.S. congressional districts indicates that Donald Trump would lose control of the House of Representatives if the midterm elections were held today. According to TV 2 election analyst Terje Sørensen, current projections across every district signal a shift away from the Republican majority in Congress.

The assessment underscores potential challenges for Trump's legislative agenda ahead of the upcoming midterm contests. Losing control of the House would hamper the administration's capacity to pass major legislation and subject it to increased legislative oversight.
