2024 United States House Elections (Pear's Future II)

The 2024 United States House of Representatives took place with the re-election of Joe Biden into a second term. Despite Biden's victory, Republicans were able to hold their narrow majority in the house, even expanding by a narrow 3 seats. Representative Kevin McCarthy, the incumbent Speaker, was subsequently re-elected as speaker, while Representative Hakeem Jefferies, who had taken over following Nancy Pelosi stepping down as leader, retained his position of House Minority Leader.

Following a disappointing election for Republicans in 2022, where they only narrowly gained back the majority due to several races unexcitingly went to Democrats, Republicans hoped to expand their majority, whilst Democrats believed that the map favored them and hoped to take back the house. Republicans were able to win in seats they targeted in 2022 but failed to win due to nominating extreme candidates, while Democrats were able to gain seats that went to Republicans narrowly in 2022.
