JUST IN: Republicans Clinch House Seat, Bolster Incoming Majority
Another U.S. House Republican candidate clinched his election more than a week after all votes were cast, affording Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA)

more padding for a slim majority constantly being chipped away by Trump appointments.

Republican Congressman Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ) squeezed a concession out of Democratic challenger Kirsten Engel more than a week after Election Day, Axios reported, bolstering the next Congress’s GOP majority to 219 members. The Associated Press has yet to call the race, but Ciscomani’s 6,900 vote lead on Wednesday was enough for Axios to declare it insurmountable now that 94.3% of all votes have been counted.

The result is almost a mirror image of Ciscomani’s win two years ago when he defeated Engel by 5,200 votes to clinch an open seat. In a statement, the Mexico-born lawmaker thanked his wife as well as his opponent and encouraged supporters to look past the election.
