Will the Republican Party retain control of the US House of Representatives in the 2026 midterms?
resolves Nov 3, 2026
Resolution criteria: Republicans hold a majority (≥218 of 435 seats) after the Nov 3, 2026 election — i.e. retain the organizing majority for the 120th Congress.
Control of Congress comes down to this chamber — and it's a genuine fight: a razor-thin starting margin, the historical weight of the midterm cycle, an aggressive round of mid-decade redistricting redrawing the battlefield, and five months of a volatile economy and a foreign war still to play out. So do Republicans hold the House on November 3rd, or does it flip? We modeled the seat-by-seat margin, the generic-ballot trend, the historical pattern, the redistricting reshuffle, the president's approval, and where the betting markets are pricing it — then committed to one calibrated probability. The number on the single biggest political question of the year. Built from 257 sources.
