Republicans will win the House of Representatives, CNN projects, in a victory that will fall short of their hopes of a “red wave” but thwart President Joe Biden’s domestic agenda and will likely subject his White House to relentless investigations.

Rep. Donald McEachin, a Virginia Democrat, died on November 28 after being the projected winner to serve another term earlier in the month. His office will be vacant when the new Congress starts in 2023 and a special election will be held to fill the seat.

CNN projects Republicans will win control of the House of Representatives with more than 218 races called in their favor.
