Democrats will have the Majority in the House of Representatives in 2019

It’s been a little while since the 2018 midterm election ended, and most (if not all) of the votes have now been counted. Democrats did really well in the U.S. House of Representatives. This will change how things go in 2019 (when the newly elected take their seats).

We will no longer have one party controlling all branches of the federal government. Personally, I find that comforting. I’m not a fan of the decisions that were made when the Republicans controlled everything.

According to Ballotpedia, the Republican Party had a 235–193 majority in the U.S. House of Representatives prior to the 2018 midterm election. The Republicans also had seven vacant seats. All 435 seats were up for re-election.

The BBC reported on November 26, 2018, that the Democrats had a total of 223 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and that the Republicans had 199 seats. This means the Democratic party has flipped the House and has gained the majority.

NPR posted an article on November 14, 2018, titled: “It Was A Big, Blue Wave: Democrats Pick Up Most House Seats in A Generation.” The article was posted before some of the races had finished counting votes. It turned out to be right.

Here is a list of the U.S. House of Representative seats held by Democrats as a result of the 2018 midterm elections.

I put the states in alphabetical order so you can quickly scroll through and find the state that you live in.

If your state is not on this list it means you will not have any representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives who are Democrats in 2019.
