The Speaker of the US House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, acknowledges the failure of the Republicans to maintain the majority in the midterm elections for Congress. Johnson wins a new state from Louisiana, while the preliminary results indicate that the Democrats have captured the majority in both chambers of the Congress. The victory of the Democrats in the House of Representatives opens the way for their leader, Hakeem Jeffries, for the presidency of the House of Representatives. Democrats are making gains in states that supported Trump in the 2024 elections, including Texas, Ohio and Kansas.
