In a CNN interview recently, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., boasted that the Democrats “will take back control of the House of Representatives” in the 2026 midterm election.

If Democrats win those races, as expected, their party will need to gain three seats in the upcoming midterm election to take control of the House.
