FOX NEWS In a victory of historic proportions, Republicans will win the U.S. House of Representatives with a net gain of about 60 seats, FoxNews projects.
The gains would exceed those made during the Republican wave of 1994, when the party picked up 54 House seats. In House races from Florida to Virginia to Indiana, voters were sending a rebuke to the Democratic Party by electing Republicans over Democratic incumbents.
The power shift means House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, portrayed as somewhat of a political bogeyman by GOP candidates throughout the campaign, will lose her post and likely be succeeded by Minority Leader John Boehner.
Republicans were also off to a strong start on the Senate side, picking up three Senate seats from Democrats and holding down a number of others — giving no ground as they look for big gains Tuesday night.
