Democrats are leading in House of Representatives based on preliminary results of the 2018 Midterm Election for Congress in the US. Democrats managed to secure 191 seats, while Republicans – 177.

The House of Representatives is the lower chamber of the US Congress and is made up of 435 seats.

The number of seats each US state receives depends on its population size. California, the most populous state, has 53 representatives while seven states – Alaska, Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont and Wyoming have just one representative.

The Republican Party currently controls the chamber with a 43-seat majority, but it is widely expected that the Democrats will gain control in today’s midterm elections.
The current House has 236 Republicans and 193 Democrats, with six vacant seats.
