The 1996 United States House of Representatives elections was an election for the U.S. House of Representatives on November 5, 1996, which coincided with the re-election of President Bill Clinton. Democrats won by almost 60,000 votes (0.07%) and gained a net of two[3][4] seats from the Republicans, but the Republicans retained an overall majority of seats in the House for the first time since 1928.
Although the Republicans lost 3 seats, 1 of them included an Independent who would caucus with them and switch to the Republicans. This resulted in a 227 Republican majority to the Democrat's 208 minority which also included an Independent caucusing with them.
The election is similar to the 1952 elections, although, in terms of the total vote this result remains one of the closest in U.S. history.
Notable freshmen included future Senators Jerry Moran, Debbie Stabenow, Roy Blunt, John E. Sununu, and John Thune, future Governor of Arkansas Asa Hutchinson, future Governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevich, future Governor of Nevada Jim Gibbons, future Governor of Alabama Bob Riley, former Mayor of Cleveland and future Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, former Lieutenant Governor of Rhode Island Robert Weygand, and future Constitution Party Presidential nominee Virgil Goode.
