1988 United States House of Representatives elections

(Redirected from 1988 U.S. House election)

The 1988 United States House of Representatives elections was an election for the United States House of Representatives on November 8, 1988, to elect members to serve in the 101st United States Congress. They coincided with the election of George H. W. Bush as president. Although Bush won with a strong majority, his Republican Party lost a net of two seats to the Democratic Party, slightly increasing the Democratic majority in the House. It was the first time since 1960 that an incoming president's party lost seats in the House.

Overall results

edit

409 incumbent members sought reelection, but one was defeated in a primary and six were defeated in the general election for a total of 402 incumbents winning. This was the highest number and percentage of incumbents who won reelection between 1954 and 1992.[1]

The Republicans did not field a candidate in one-fourth of the seats in the Southern United States.[2] This is the last congressional election in which Republicans won a House seat in Hawaii for a full term and the last time they won a seat in Vermont.
