If we were to combine the US House and US Senate into one chamber. [View all]

There will be 235 Democratic US House Members + 47 Democratic US Senators= 282 Democratic US Legislators.
There will be 199 Republican US House Members + 53 Republican US Senators= 252 Republican US Legislators.
Republican United States Senators will be in minority before the 2020 elections.
