Democrats would need to win 13 of the remaining 17 seats to take control.<\/p>\n<p>With Trump&#8217;s victory in the presidential election and Republican winning control of the Senate, keeping hold of the House would give Republicans sweeping powers to potentially ram through a broad agenda of tax and spending cuts, energy deregulation and border security controls.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the remaining 17 House races are in competitive districts in Western states where the pace of vote counting is typically slower than in the rest of the country.<\/p>\n<p>Nine of the seats are currently held by Republicans and eight by Democrats. Fourteen seats were widely seen as competitive ahead of the election.<\/p>\n<p>Republican senators will decide next week who will serve as the party&#8217;s leader in the Senate in 2025 with John Thune, John Cornyn and Rick Scott vying for the job. On Saturday, Senators Bill Hagerty and Rand Paul endorsed Scott over the more senior Thune and Cornyn, who have been viewed as favorites.<\/p>\n<p>Cornyn vowed late on Saturday that if he wins he will keep the Senate in session until Trump&#8217;s cabinet is confirmed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No weekends, no breaks. Democrats can cooperate in the best interest of the country, or continue the resistance, which will eventually be ground down,&#8221; he wrote on X.<\/p>\n<p data-testid=\"promo-box\" class=\"text__text__1FZLe text__dark-grey__3Ml43 text__regular__2N1Xr text__small__1kGq2 body__base__22dCE body__small_body__2vQyf article-body__promo-box__3bCm_\"> Sign up <!-- --> <a data-testid=\"Link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/us\/republicans-brink-clinching-us-house-control-2024-11-09\/undefined?location=article-paragraph\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" class=\"text__text__1FZLe text__inherit-color__3208F text__inherit-font__1Y8w3 text__inherit-size__1DZJi link__link__3Ji6W link__underline_default__2prE_\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"article-body__element__2p5pI\">\n<p data-testid=\"Body\" class=\"text__text__1FZLe text__dark-grey__3Ml43 text__regular__2N1Xr text__extra_small__1Mw6v body__full_width__ekUdw body__extra_small_body__3QTYe sign-off__text__PU3Aj sign-off__no-margin-top__2e9N-\">Reporting by Jason Lange and David Shepardson;
