According to multiple news outlets, the GOP is primed to capture control of the House of Representatives —a development that will see Nancy Pelosi step aside as Speaker of the House, paving the way for GOP leadership.
The Daily Caller shared the news in a tweet, saying “🚨BREAKING🚨 Republicans are now projected to win control of the United State House of Representatives, after gaining 7 seats, 2 more than they needed to win control of the chamber.”

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has already thrown his hat into the ring to become the next House Speaker, but he’s expected to face pushback from his party. The GOP may be looking for new leadership after a perceived underwhelming midterms performance.
From The New York Times:
It might still be days until the major decision desks can project that Republicans have won the 218 seats necessary to win control. But over the weekend, Democrats fell short of their targets in the late count in critical battleground districts in Arizona and California.
The sometimes good — but not good enough — results for Democrats raised the bar for what the party needs in the votes yet be counted, while making a late surge seem even less likely.
Right now, Republicans would be on track to win 221 seats if the latest trends continued, though several of these races remain so close that they could easily go the other way.
After a long week counting mail votes out west, a Republican House majority now seems in sight. https://t.co/EP8BDdr5mb
