The Republicans will take control of the House of Representatives, the BBC's US partner CBS has projected. It's expected they will win a minimum of 218 seats, with their final number likely ending up between 220 and 222. The House of Representatives has 435 seats, with 218 needed to secure a majority. So far, the Democrats have 208, with nine still to be called. This means Donald Trump now has full control of both chambers of Congress, having already bagged a majority in the Senate, the upper chamber.
