WASHINGTON,D.C. (TNC News) | The Opposition Republican Party made huge gains, by winning ~61 seats from the ruling Democratic Party of Pres. Obama. The Republicans successfully ousted House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and will now control the House under Speaker-designate John Boehner (R-OH). However, they failed to win control of the US Senate – but managed to take 6 seats from the Democrats. Two State Races remain in doubt – Washington State and Alaska. Both races have incumbents facing re-election.
House Minority Leader John Boehner is expected to be the new House Speaker, who is 3rd in line to the presidency.
