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 Bill Clinton as President of the United States. Clinton's Democratic Party won by almost 60,000 votes (0.07%) and gained a net of two[2][3] seats from the Republican Party, but the Republicans retained an overall majority of seats in the House for the first time since 1928. The election is similar to the 1952 House election, although this result remains one of the closest in U.S. history.
