Midterm Election 2014 Results: GOP Will Retain Control of the House

Source: ABC NEWS

ABC News projects that Republicans will retain majority control of the House of Representatives. Now, the question becomes how big that majority will grow.

House Republicans are all but assured of adding to their current 34-seat majority, possibly diminishing some of the power of a conservative wing of lawmakers who have challenged House Speaker John Boehner's leadership on issues like health care, immigration reform and government spending.
