Out of town for Thanksgiving Template:Short description Template:For Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox election The 2024 United States House of Representatives elections were held on November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections, to elect the 441 members of the House of Representatives - representatives from all 435 congressional districts across each of the 50 U.S. states, as well as 6 non-voting delegates from the District of Columbia and the inhabited U.S. territories to the United States House of Representatives. Special elections have also been held on various dates in 2024. Numerous other federal, state, and local elections, including the U.S. presidential election and elections to the Senate, were also held on this date. The winners of this election will serve in the 119th United States Congress, with seats apportioned among the states based on the 2020 United States census.

The House Republican Conference has been led by Mike Johnson since October 2023, following the removal of Kevin McCarthy as Speaker of the House and the speaker election that Johnson won. He is the first congressman from Louisiana to be elected Speaker of the House.[1]

With the election of Hakeem Jeffries as leader of the House Democratic Caucus, this was the first House election since 2002 in which the Democratic Party was not led by Nancy Pelosi. Jeffries is the first African American in the history of Congress to serve as leader of either party, and the first congressman from New York to do so since Bertrand Snell's retirement in 1938.[2]

The election was expected to be highly competitive, with forecasts suggesting less than a five-seat difference between the two parties.[3] Events that have occurred during the 118th Congress include the January 2023 speakership election, the 2023 debt-ceiling crisis, the removal of Kevin McCarthy from the speakership, the ensuing October 2023 speakership election, and the expulsion of George Santos. No party has lost House control after a single congressional term since 1954.

The Republicans, led by incumbent Speaker Mike Johnson, retained their majority in the House of Representatives, winning 220 seats, though this was the narrowest for a majority party since the 1930 elections;[4][5] according to Dave Wasserman, the majority was decided by just over 7,000 votes across three congressional districts: Iowa's 1st, Colorado's 8th, and Pennsylvania's 7th.[6] Nevertheless, this gave Republicans a governmental trifecta for the first time since they lost it following the 2018 midterms.

This election marked the first time since 2016 in which Republicans won a majority of the congressional delegation in Pennsylvania and Michigan.[7][8] This election also marked the first time since 2008 in which Democrats won more than one seat in Alabama, and the first time since 2006 when Democrats won more than one seat in Louisiana.[9][10] This election saw Republicans win the majority of congressional districts in 30 states while the Democrats won a majority in 18 states. Two states (Colorado and Minnesota) elected a split house delegation. Sarah McBride of Delaware became the first openly transgender member elected to the United States Congress.[11]

This constitutes the 12th election since the Civil War, and third presidential election cycle in a row in which the victorious presidential party lost seats in the House, after the elections of 1868, 1884, 1892, 1896, 1908, 1960, 1988, 1992, 2000, 2016, and 2020.
