America is divided up into 435 congressional districts with each district having the power to elect one representative to the House. All 435 were up for election yesterday. Prior to the election the Republicans controlled 247 of the 435 seats in the House of Representatives, with 218 needed for a majority. In addition to the 435 voting representatives, there are also six non-voting representatives from US territories or Washington DC who are only allowed a say in relevant House committees.
They do control the agenda though which means they can refuse to even hear legislation even after it passes the house. Harry Reid uses this power to block republican ideas all the time. Congress is the house and the senate, no party currently controls all of congress as I just explained above. Whie House: Is controlled by Barrack Obama who is a democrat Congress is divided into two houses. The Senate: Is controlled by democrats The House of Representatives: Is controlled by Republicans. Depends what you mean by control..
