NBC News projects that Democrats will take control of the House next year, giving them the power to investigate Trump and advance legislation to check his policies.

Democrats won control of the House of Representatives with what could be its largest majority in nearly two decades, NBC News projects, as voters delivered a stunning rebuke to President Donald Trump and Republicans.

The House projection is based on an analysis that Democrats will win approximately 244 House seats — an estimate that could still tick up or down by a few seats but will be well beyond the 218 needed to secure a majority.
