Why House control matters now
The House majority picks the Speaker, runs the committees, and decides which bills get a vote. Spending and tax bills start here, and only the House can impeach.
Democrats need a net gain of 4 seats to reach a 218-seat majority. Midterms usually cost the president's party seats, and mid-decade redistricting in several states has redrawn which seats are competitive.
