Republicans take control of the United States House of Representatives on Tuesday. Still, their House leader, Kevin McCarthy, may fall short of securing a majority amid opposition from far-right members. The Republican Party narrowly won a majority in November’s midterm elections but failed to take the Senate. The poor showing has led to disagreements at the top of the party.

It was still unclear which party would control the House of Representatives as counting continued in razor-tight races in California and a smattering of other states. – Subscribe to our channel: http://aje.io/AJSubscribe – Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/AJEnglish – Find us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera – Check our website: https://www.aljazeera.com/ @AljazeeraEnglish #Aljazeeraenglish #News #unitedstates #US […]
