Can Democrats Take the House
Democrats would need November gains to seize the House from Republicans who hold 231 seats to 201 with two vacancies. A Democratic majority would shift the floor schedule, chairmanships, and oversight, placing moderates at the center. Steny Hoyer could rise to majority leader, while Pelosi and Hoyer navigate a reshaped leadership dynamic.

He argued the measure reinforces family stability and societal welfare, despite Senate opposition. Democrats say Republicans seek pre midterm electoral gain by appealing to social conservatives. The amendment would bar states from recognizing same sex marriages.
