The Latest: Election to shatter record of women in House
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on elections to the U.S. House of Representatives (all times local):
12:20 a.m.
Women will break the current record of 84 serving at once in the U.S. House.
With ballots still being counted across the country, women have won 75 seats and are assured of victory in nine districts where women are the only major-party candidates.
Outrage and organizing by women have defined Democratic Party politics this election cycle — from the Women's March opposing President Donald Trump the day after he was inaugurated in January 2017 through a stream of sexual assault accusations later that year that sparked the #MeToo movement.
