Who will control the House of Representatives in 2025, and did any Wisconsin seats flip?
With President-elect Donald Trump's re-election and several key wins in U.S. Senate races, Republicans are poised to control the White House and Senate come 2025.
The House of Representatives, however, remains up for the grabs, with a handful of hotly contested races determining which party will control the lower chamber of Congress next year. In Wisconsin, Democrats were hoping to flip at least one congressional seat to protect their current House majority.
Here's what to know about who will control the House in 2025 and how congressional races in Wisconsin played out.
Who will control the House in 2025?
As of Friday morning, Republicans seem favored to win House control — though several key races where votes are still being counted could tip the scales.
So far, Republicans have flipped three districts to pick up 210 House seats, while Democrats have secured 198 seats. Either party needs 218 of the 435 seats to secure the majority.
According to USA TODAY, six key races across Arizona, California, Ohio, Maine and Maryland could determine control of the House. You can follow live results here .

Did any Wisconsin House seats flip in the 2024 election?
