In great news that came on the morning of Wednesday, November 6, the day after the incredible election in which former president and now-President-Elect Donald Trump stormed to victory, dragging the GOP with him and winning the Senate as well, a critical House seat was held onto.
That is big news because it remains to be seen if the GOP can hold onto its House majority, or if it will lose the House and so lose its chance for at least two years of changing things up in the way Trump wants them changed, something generally impossible if there is a divided national legislature.
The set held onto is that of Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, an Iowa Republican whose razor-thin margin of victory puts the GOP one seat closer to obtaining the victory it needs to dominate the national government. Her race was within 0.2% points, so it wasn’t called until late in the morning on the day after the election.
