Trump allies win reelection, will return to the House next year

Several allies of former President Donald Trump will be heading back to Congress' lower chamber, after handily winning reelection Tuesday evening.

Rep. Byron Donalds, a top surrogate for Trump's reelection campaign this year, was one of the first House races called, according to projections by the Associated Press. Donalds has been on the campaign trail stumping for Trump and making appearances targeted at appealing to Black voters.

His win was followed soon by fellow Floridian and member of the ultraconservative House Freedom Caucus Rep. Anna Luna.

Should he win a return to the White House, Trump will need these and other allies in Congress to enact his agenda.

Republicans are expected to take over control of the Senate, having no seats to defend in battleground or blue-leaning states. Meanwhile, the GOP is fighting to keep control of the House.

Were both chambers and the White House to go red this election, other lawmakers essential to helping Trump score policy wins include Reps. Matt Gaetz of Florida and Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia. Both Gaetz and Greene won reelection Tuesday night, easily defeating their respective Democratic challengers.
