2000 United States House of Representatives elections
The 2000 United States House of Representatives elections were held on November 7, 2000, to elect U.S. Representatives to serve in the 107th United States Congress. They coincided with the election of George W. Bush as President of the United States. The Republican Party won 221 seats, while the Democratic Party won 212 and independents won two. This marked the first time since 1992 that the victorious presidential party lost seats in the House, and the first since 1988 that they lost seats in both Houses. This resulted in the smallest Republican majority since 1952, which would similarly occur in 2022.
