What can Republicans achieve after winning the House majority?

The Republican Party have won a majority of seats in the US House of Representatives, after results from crucial midterm elections were tallied on Thursday. The final call from the Associated Press came after more than a week of ballot counting, with Republicans securing the 218th seat required to gain control of the House.

The result returns the conservative party to power in Washington, allowing them to resist Biden's agenda and start a flurry of investigations. President Joe Biden's Democrats will now be relegated to the minority in the lower chamber of US Congress.
