In what was described as a "shocking upset", Democrats gained 12 seats, giving them a majority of 102 out of 203 seats and winning control of the chamber for the first time since 2010 despite losing the popular vote. This defied many analysts’ predictions, including that of Sabato's Crystal Ball, which had rated House control as "Likely Republican".
