Democrats retain control of House, battle remains for Senate majority

Democrats have retained control of the House, while the battle for the Senate is still up for grabs.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will expand her Democratic majority in the House by at least five seats, Fox News Decision Desk projected around 9:15 p.m. ET.

The expansion of the majority is a major boost for Pelosi, who has pledged to roll back much of President Trump’s first-term agenda if he loses reelection. 

“We’re going to increase our numbers tonight and make the future better for our children,” Pelosi said earlier Tuesday in projecting Democrats would expand the gains they made in their 2018 flip.
