House Democrats Win 254 Seats, Eyeing Nearly 260 in Biggest Majority This Century

Summary
House Democrats have secured at least 254 seats, with more than a dozen races still uncalled and party leaders expecting the final tally to land close to 260.
Democrats are leading in about half of the remaining contests, putting them on track to surpass the 257 seats they held after the 2008 election.
Hakeem Jeffries called it the largest majority any party has had this century, while Republicans struck a subdued tone after the midterm losses.
If Democrats reach 258 seats or more, it would mark their biggest House majority since 1992, though still far below the 334-seat landslide after the 1936 election.
