NAHB: What do the midterm election results mean for housing?
Many members-elect and returning members have supported NAHB in the past, a good sign for ongoing industry initiatives.
The 2018 midterm elections delivered a split decision: Republicans expanded their Senate majority and Democrats flipped the House.
So what does this mean for housing?
NAHB Chief Lobbyist Jim Tobin provides the following analysis:
As the smoke settles on Election Day, party intensity, electoral history and the map combined to deliver majority control of the House of Representatives to the Democrats for the first time since 2010, while expanding the Republican Senate majority.
On the morning after the 2018 election, two seats in the Senate and a number of seats in the House remained too close to call.
The storyline for the 2018 midterm elections started the day after Donald Trump’s general election victory in 2016. Democrats awoke to the realization that the polls showing a Hillary Clinton victory were very wrong and that an election victory they took largely for granted had vanished. Their disappointment on election night 2016, alleged meddling by Russia, and President Trump’s brash, take-no-prisoners style fueled a steep rise in energy in the Democratic base.
