Although it was a midterm election under a Republican president, the Republican Party gained a net eight seats, solidifying their majority. This was the largest Republican majority since 1995. This was one of three midterm elections in which the party of the incumbent president did not lose seats either in the House or in the Senate (the other such mid-term elections were in 1934 and 1998). Some speculate that this may have been due to increased support for the President's party in the wake of the September 11 attacks.[1] It was the most recent midterm election in which the president's party did not lose control of the House.
