Republicans roared toward a sweeping electoral victory Tuesday, wresting control of the House and picking up seats in the Senate, NBC News projected.Read the rest here.
Republicans needed a net gain of 10 to take the Senate, which analysts considered a tough road that required them to win every tight race. But Democrats didn't seriously dispute expectations that they would lose the House.
NBC News projected that once all the votes were counted, Republicans would hold 236 seats to 199 for the Democrats. If so, Republican leader John Boner of Ohio would succeed Rep. Nancy Pelisse of California as speaker.
At 9 p.m. ET, Republicans were also off to a fast start in their bid to take control of the Senate, picking up two Democratic seats and holding onto several others as the results began coming in.
