The Democrats are projected to flip the US House of Representatives after four years of Republican leadership.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries will likely become Speaker of the House.
Democrat Rep. Maxine Waters will become the next Chairwoman of the Financial Services Committee.
Republicans have had control of the House since 2022.
The Hill reported:
John Solomon and Steve Bannon weighed in on this developing story.
WATCH:
Democrats on Tuesday seized control of the U.S. House, flipping the chamber after four years in the minority wilderness to usher in a new era of divided government, Decision Desk HQ projects.
The change will have immediate repercussions for the workings of Washington next year, slamming the brakes on President Trump’s legislative agenda and setting the stage for countless clashes between the House and White House over everything from immigration enforcement and government spending to Trump’s global tariffs and the Iran war.
Democrats have vowed to launch an exhaustive list of investigations into Trump and his inner circle, featuring deep dives into the Jeffrey Epstein scandal; the violence that’s accompanied Trump’s deportation surge; and the president’s personal and family finances, which have ballooned since his return to office last year.

Sad.
I hope we keep the Senate.
Trump has a pen and a phone. And an EO.
3rd Trump impeachment in 3....2....1....
Hope is not a plan. Prepare for disappointment
Two more years of impeachment hearings and investigations.
Trump is not just a lame duck.
They want to imprison him and punish anyone who supported him in any way.
I’d expected this. Trump is incredibly unpopular. Middle class Americans are suffering badly while he fawns over Nikki Minaj’s butt. He also got us involved in an un-winnable war with Iran. That won’t win you many elections. AOC may well be our next President.
Trump could not remain sane for a while and how bringing down the wrath of the Democrats...
With your current attitude, she's a shoe-in.
Well, it was a nice 2fity. Hochtuee speaker! Oh well, we did what we did. Hate is hard to defeat.

You sound giddy. The Democrats will not make your life better. You will see.
The war with Iran was and is winnable, it just wasn’t carried through. President Trump kept consulting “The Art of the Deal” instead of that other best seller “The Art of War”.
Prepare to get sadder.
Even 2006 didn’t feel this awful.
Yeah, I know. Just in a low mood.
“Oh Captain, my Captain ...”
Fully agreed. It was made un-winnable for some reason.
