Democrats are pushing toward a historic majority as more House races called

Key Points:

• Democrats have secured at least 253 House seats with leads in six more races, potentially exceeding 260 seats, marking the largest House majority since 1991 and surpassing the majority size during the Affordable Care Act passage.
• Despite the strong House majority, Democrats will still need Republican support to pass major legislation, as they lack the 60 Senate votes to break filibusters and face challenges overriding presidential vetoes.
• President Trump remains focused on controversial construction projects like the White House ballroom and a triumphal arch, despite legal setbacks and widespread voter disapproval of his priorities, according to recent polls.
• The closely contested Senate races in Mississippi and Alaska remain unresolved, with Democrats leading narrowly; both parties have mobilized extensive legal and observer teams in preparation for potential ballot challenges.
• The tech sector experienced significant market declines following Democrats' midterm victories, fueled by concerns that a Democrat-controlled Congress might restrict AI infrastructure investments critical to economic growth.
