United States House of Representatives Election, 2020 (Nkechinyer)

The United States House of Representatives election in 2020 was held on November 3, 2020. In this election, the Republican Party was expected to lose the majority in the House of Representatives. However, continuing on the biggest liberal wave in nearly 60 years, The Democratic Party snagged a stunning 49 seats in the House from Republican, while not losing a single re-election bid in the process. They defeated Key house Republican and speaker of the house Paul Ryan, and with the Retirement of Democratic House Leader Nancy Pelosi, both parties picked a new House Leader. Keith Ellison, a Minnesota Democratic Representative, was picked as the Democratic House Leader and new Speaker of the House. The Republicans went from Paul Ryan to Michigan Representative Justin Amash, who was luckily spared due to a move from his now Democrat majority district in 2019.

The Republicans started with a 225-210 majority in the House, and were down 259-176 to the Democrats at the end of the election. This was the best position for Democrats in the House of Representatives since the 88th United States Congress in 1963, when the Democrats controlled the house, 258-176-1.
