It coincided with the election of Barack Obama as president. All 435 voting seats, as well as all 6 non-voting seats, were up for election. The Democratic Party, which won a majority of seats in the 2006 election, expanded its control in 2008. The Republican Party, hoping to regain the majority it lost in the 2006 election or at least expand its congressional membership, lost additional seats. With one exception (Louisiana's 2nd district), the only seats to switch from Democratic to Republican had been Republican-held prior to the 2006 elections. Republicans gained five Democratic seats total, while losing 26 of their own, giving the Democrats a net gain of 21 seats, effectively erasing all gains made by the GOP since 1994.Hagerty Barbara Tedford Deborah Democrats Poised For Landslide Wins In House NPR November 4, 2008 https://www.npr.org/2008/11/04/96511716/democrats-poised-for-landslide-wins-in-house June 28, 2026 In addition, with the defeat of Republican congressman Chris Shays in Connecticut's 4th district, this became the first time since the 1850s that no Republican represented the New England region.Haigh Susan GOP a dying breed in New England USA Today November 9, 2008 http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/politics/2008-11-09-4237129098_x.htm June 28, 2026Jim Himes Defeats Christopher Hayes In 4th District Hartford Courant November 5, 2008 https://www.courant.com/2008/11/05/jim-himes-defeats-christopher-shays-in-4th-district/ subscription June 28, 2026 The 10.6% popular vote advantage by the Democrats was the largest by either party since 1982, 26 years earlier, and as of 2026 remains the most recent time that either party won by a double-digit margin in the overall popular vote for the House of Representatives.Enten Harry The most underdiscussed fact of the 2022 election: how historically close it was CNN December 26, 2022 https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/26/politics/midterm-election-2022-historically-close/index.html June 28, 2026 Turnout increased due to the concurrent presidential election. 2026, this remains the last election in which Democrats won House seats in Idaho, North Dakota, and South Dakota; and the last election in which Democrats won a majority of seats in Arkansas, Indiana, Mississippi, Ohio, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
