Speaker Nancy Pelosi says Democrats lost some battles, but "won the war" in the battle for the House in this week's elections.
She held a post-election briefing and called it a happy day, noting the strong performance of former VP Joe Biden in the presidential race.
Many House Democrats are angry about losing seats in this week's election. Dems had been expected to add seats to their majority.
A number of House races are unresolved. Democrats are also falling short in their efforts to flip control of the Senate.
