Democrats won several seats in the House, but Republicans retained a solid majority in the chamber.[3]

In the Senate, Republicans won moderate gains and maintained their commanding majority in the chamber.[4]

This marked the most recent time in which a sitting two-term Republican president retained both chambers of Congress after his second midterm.
