🇺🇸 ELECTION FORECAST: Decision Desk HQ's final forecast projected Democrats winning the House 241–194 and the Senate 52–48. • It gives Democrats an 84% chance of taking the House and a 64% chance in the Senate. • History is not on the White House's side: the sitting president's party almost always loses ground in midterms. Since the Civil War, it has gained House seats only three times — in 1934 under FDR, 1998 under Clinton and 2002 under George W. Bush. This is a forecast based on polls, not results. Polls have missed before. Most results will begin coming in tonight.
