30. No, currently neither has a majority

Tue Jan 6, 2026, 04:29 PM

Tuesday

So the proper term is a "hung Congress"
Neither political party can pass their agenda without help from the other.

A new Speaker would require a majority vote and I doubt, especially with only 10 months to go, that there is any sense of cooperation between the parties.
Now, if we win all of those respective special elections we would have the majority and could elect a new Speaker.
