They coincided with the election of Ronald Reagan as president, defeating Democratic incumbent Jimmy Carter. Reagan's victory also allowed many Republican House candidates to secure elections. The Republicans gained a net of 35 seats from the Democratic Party. The Democrats nonetheless retained a significant majority, unlike the Senate elections, where Republicans gained control of the chamber. However, many Democratic congressmen from the South (known as "Boll weevils") frequently took conservative stances on issues, allowing Republicans to have a working ideological majority for some of President Reagan's proposals during his first two years in office. This election marked the first time since Reconstruction that Republicans won a sizable majority of Representatives from a Deep South state (South Carolina). It was also the first time that the new Libertarian Party received the third-largest share of the popular vote in both chambers of Congress. 2024, this is the last time that Republicans won a majority of seats in the Minnesota delegation. This is the earliest House election with currently serving members, those being Chris Smith and Hal Rogers. Overall results 398 incumbent members sought reelection, but 6 were defeated in primaries and 31 defeated in the general election for a total of 358 incumbents winning.Abramson Aldrich Rohde 1995 259 Summary of the November 4, 1980, United States House of Representatives election results + ↓ 242 1 1 191 Democratic I C Republican Parties Seats Popular vote 1978 1980 +/- Strength Vote % Change Democratic Party (US) Democratic Party 277 242 35 55.9% 39,347,947 50.5% 3.2% Republican Party (US) Republican Party 157 191 34 43.9% 37,222,588 47.8% 3.0% Libertarian Party (US) Libertarian Party 0 0 0.0% 568,131 0.7% 0.6% Independent Independent 0 1 1 0.0% 216,403 0.3% 0.3% Conservative Party (US) Conservative Party 1 1 0.2% 136,967 0.1% 0.1% Citizens Party (United States) Citizens Party 0 0 0.0% 60,390 0.1% 0.1% New York State Right to Life Party Right to Life Party 0 0 0.0% 54,142 0.1% 0.1% Peace and Freedom Party Peace and Freedom Party 0 0 0.0% 45,281 0.1% Other parties (US) Others 0 0 0.0% 222,068 0.3% 0.3%Total 435 435 0 100.0% 77,873,917 100.0% - Source: Election Statistics - Office of the Clerk Popular vote #ddd 900px 710px Democratic Democratic Party (US) 50.53 Republican Republican Party (US) 47.80 Libertarian Libertarian Party (US) 0.73 Conservative Conservative Party of New York 0.18 Others #777777 0.76 House seats #ddd 900px 710px Democratic Democratic Party (US) 55.86 Republican Republican Party (US) 43.91 Conservative Conservative Party of New York 0.23 thumb|left|400px| House seats by party holding plurality in state #00f 80+% to 100% Democratic #f00 80+% to 100% Republican #09f 60+% to 80% Democratic #f66 60+% to 80% Republican #0ff Up to 60% Democratic #f99 Up to 60% Republican Striped = 50/50 split thumb|left|400px| Change in seats   #f66 3-5 Republican gain #0ff 1-2 Democratic gain #f99 1-2 Republican gain #ccc no net change Special elections List of special elections to the United States House of Representatives In these special elections, the winner was seated during 1980 or before January 3, 1981; ordered by election date.
