Decision Desk HQ, an analysis website, is projecting that Democrats will win the US House of Representatives elections, securing control of the lower chamber of Congress. Current vote counts reported by CNN show Democrats leading with 73 seats to the Republicans' 33. All 435 seats in the House are up for election, requiring at least 218 seats for a party to gain a majority.
Among the newly elected representatives are two candidates who have been critical of Israel. In New York, Brad Lander, an ally of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, won his race. Mamdani, who identifies as a Zionist, has accused Israel of genocide and apartheid. In Colorado, Malat Kirel, a socialist who advocates for halting all arms shipments to Israel, including defensive weaponry, was elected.
