Each of the 435 seats in the US House of Representatives is up for grabs this Election Day. Democrats currently hold a narrow majority in the chamber — 220 seats compared to the Republicans’ 212 seats.
The 2022 midterm elections are the first to be conducted following the redistricting and apportionment that occurred due to the release of the 2020 census. Apportionment led to six states — Oregon, Montana, Texas, Colorado, Florida, and North Carolina— gaining additional districts. Seven states — West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, New York, California, and Illinois — lost congressional seats.
Republicans need to flip just five seats to gain control of the House. If they gain control of the chamber, House Republicans have pledged to impeach President Joe Biden and launch an investigation into his son, Hunter Biden, along with an investigation into the US military’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.
