Democrats win control of the House of Representatives, with a vow to combat Trump
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.
What the coverage shows
Most outlets focus on the same basic result, projecting that Democrats have won or are poised to win control of the House. NBC News and CBS News both frame that result as setting up a clash with Trump over oversight and legislation, while The Guardian US uniquely emphasizes the party’s victory amid Republican redistricting efforts. Fox News stands apart by foregrounding Trump’s comments about using the veto, and CBS also separately highlights his confidence before polls closed.
