Republicans appear on track to retain control of the U.S. House of Representatives, which would enable them to lock down a GOP trifecta in Washington for the first time since 2016.

As of 10:25 a.m. on Nov. 8, The Associated Press projected that Republicans had picked up at least 211 seats while Democrats had at least 199. A party needs 218 to claim the majority.
