Republicans gain control of U.S. House as Democrats raise concerns over Gaetz nomination

Republicans have gained enough seats to control the U.S. House, aligning with President-elect Donald Trump. Trump's nomination of Matt Gaetz as attorney general has raised concerns among Democrats, who fear potential misuse of the Justice Department. Senate Judiciary Committee members are calling for the House Ethics Committee to share its findings on Gaetz, who resigned from Congress after his nomination. The ethics review includes allegations of misconduct and drug use, which Gaetz denies. In Iowa, Democrat Christina Bohannan has requested a recount in her close race against Republican Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks. Bohannan trails by fewer than 1,000 votes, making the contest tighter than their previous matchup in 2022.
