Wed Oct 21, 2020, 10:25 AM

Oct 2020

The largest count any one party has had in the House and Senate was during the 75th Congress.

The Democrats held 333 (of 435) House seats and 75 (of 96) Senate seats.

They too got a little complacent after that and lost 71 House seats (down to 262) in the next election.
