WASHINGTON—The House Republican Conference on Nov. 13 elected Rep. Lisa McClain (R-Mich.) as its chair for the next Congress.

The party is poised to retain its majority in the U.S. House of Representatives after the 2024 general elections. According to the Associated Press, Republicans are currently one seat away from the 218 needed to secure control of the chamber. The size of the majority won’t be known for some days with a handful of races still uncalled.
