Democrats secure control of House of Representatives – AP

The Democratic Party secured control of the U.S. House of Representatives late on Tuesday with the Democrats winning at least 218 seats, the Associated Press reported. 

The Democrats could win a few more seats but their majority in the House was likely to shrink, AP said. 

They secured the majority after AP declared three winners late Tuesday; incumbents Kim Schrier in Washington, Tom O’Halleran in Arizona and Jimmy Gomez in California.
