Republican Darrell Issa has beaten
Doug Applegate, a Democrat, in a race
for California's 49th Congressional
District seat, currently held by Issa.
Republicans retained control of the House and lost only a
handful of seats from their commanding majority, a stunning
reversal of fortune after many GOP leaders feared double-
digit losses. At several points this year, Democratic leaders
predicted that Donald Trump’s presidential nomination would
prompt an anti-Republican wave that would sweep 20 or more
Democrats into the House. Democrats seized four redrawn,
GOP-held districts in Florida and Virginia and held small leads
in several other battlegrounds. But they could not unseat
Republicans in key districts across the country, including
suburban seats they believed they could easily win with
Trump on the ticket.1
