Tuesday's elections are the first major U.S. Biden's party is laboring to hold on by the most tenuous of margins. If GOP newcomers help seize control of the House, and possibly the Senate, the outcome will pose new challenges for Congress' ability to govern.

But the Republican candidates are campaigning instead on a platform to stop Democrats. "I do think that this will end up being a period of government that is defined by conflict," a former aide said Thursday.

McCarthy is in line to seize the speaker's gavel from Pelosi if Democrats lose power. He has recruited the most racially diverse class of House GOP candidates. But it also has a new cadre of Trump loyalists including election skeptics and deniers, some who were around the Capitol on Jan. 6.
