In great news on the morning of Wednesday, November 6, following the incredible election where former president and now-President-Elect Donald Trump won decisively, pulling the GOP to victory and securing the Senate as well, a crucial House seat was retained.
This is significant because the GOP’s ability to maintain its House majority is crucial for advancing Trump’s agenda, which would be challenging with a divided legislature.
The seat held onto belongs to Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks, an Iowa Republican whose narrow victory brings the GOP one step closer to controlling the national government. Her race, decided by a margin of 0.2%, wasn’t called until late Wednesday morning.

Decision Desk HQ called the race for Miller-Meeks at 10:10 AM EST on the 6th, announcing her victory with 50.1% of the vote against challenger Christina Bohannan’s 49.9%.
Celebrating her win on X (formerly Twitter), Decision Desk HQ stated, “Decision Desk HQ projects Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R) wins the US House election in Iowa’s 1st congressional district. #DecisionMade: 10:10 AM EDT.”
“IF YOU TRULY LOVE GOD, KINDLY CLICK ON THE AD!”
Rep. Miller-Meeks received praise on X, including from conservative writer Matthew Foldi, who highlighted her unexpected victory against poll predictions.
Miller-Meeks thanked her supporters on her personal account, acknowledging the voters, volunteers, and supporters who contributed to her win. She also celebrated Trump’s victory, expressing her excitement to work with a unified government on the America First agenda.
Rep. Miller-Meeks, a 69-year-old former physician, has been focused on healthcare reform and veteran issues since winning her seat in Iowa’s First Congressional District in 2020, also a close race. Her district’s tendency to swing between parties makes her victories crucial for the GOP, especially in tight elections like this one.
Trump’s significant victory in the 2024 election contrasted with Miller-Meeks’s narrow re-election, provoking strong reactions from the left.
