Republicans have won enough seats to control the U.S. House of Representatives, completing the party's sweep into power and securing their hold on U.S. government alongside president-elect Donald Trump.

The party protected vulnerable incumbents and picked off Democrats in competitive districts, handing the president-elect a unified Congress to enact his agenda.

With this latest victory, Republicans now control all three branches of the government - the House, the Senate, and the White House.

Republicans have finally completed the so-called trifecta and secured the 218 seats required for control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

Republicans will keep control of the House of Representatives, the Associated Press has projected, giving President-elect Trump a majority in both houses of Congress. House Speaker Mike Johnson has said he will work aggressively to implement Trump’s agenda,

Republicans have won both the House and the Senate, giving the GOP total control over Congress for at least the next two years and creating a friendly path for President-elect Donald Trump's priorities.

Speaker Mike Johnson and House GOP leaders are projected to have successfully kept their half of Congress in Republican hands for another two years.
