Republicans eye House power in 1968 battles
Republicans seek control of the House for the first time since 1952 and could influence the 1968 presidential outcome. With 187 seats, they target 34 close Democratic districts and aim to net enough wins to gain 31 seats. A House decision could also shape electoral votes if no candidate wins a majority.
