Great news arrived on Wednesday, November 6, the day following the historic election in which former president and now-President-Elect Donald Trump surged to triumph, bringing the GOP with him and winning the Senate as well, a vital House seat was held upon.
That is significant since it remains to be seen whether the GOP can hang onto its House majority or if it will lose the House and so lose its opportunity for at least two years of at least two years of change in the way Trump wants things changed, something generally difficult if there is a divided national legislature.
Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, an Iowa Republican whose razor-thin margin of victory gets the GOP one seat closer to acquiring the triumph it needs to rule the national government, is the set kept onto. Her race fell within 0.2% points, thus it wasn’t called until late in the morning on the day following the election.
The race in which Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks managed to retain her seat was not called until As of 10:10 am EST on the 6th, at which point Decision Desk Headquarters contacted her and declared that she had managed to eke out a victory with 50.1% of the vote, defeating challenger Christina Bohannan, who managed to get just-shy 49.9%.
Announcing in a post on X (previously Twitter) that Rep. Miller-Meeks has managed her nail-biter of an electoral triumph, Decision Desk HQ said, Decision Desk HQ estimates Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R) wins the US House election in Iowa’s first congressional district. # Decision Made: 10:10 AM EDT.
