No, there are 49 Reps, 48 Dems, 1 Ind, and 1 Socialist. The Reps are technically the majority party now, but the two odds are caucusing with the Dems.

The majority party is the one with the most caucus members. That's the Democrats.

Not to nitpick, but that makes them the Majority Coalition, not the Majority Party. No difference in the end, but more indicative of how close the balance really is.

No, that would make them the plurality party.
