United States House of Representatives elections, 2022 (Alternative Chawosauria)

The **United States House of Representatives elections of 2022** were held on November 8, 2022, with a huge turnout, to elect representatives for all 435 congressional districts across all 50 states. This election was held in the middle of Democratic President, Jonathan S. Bismarck's first term. The Democrats, in a surprise victory, gained a net 20 seats from the Republican Party's house minority, expanding the Democrats' supermajority and at the same time, upholding the Democrats' supermajority. Regionally, the Democrats made net gains in the Eastern United States, while Republicans made net gains in the Western United States.

President Bismarck became one of those rarest Presidents who successfully avoided a House flip, the Presidents who dodged a house flip were, John Adams in 1798, Thomas Jefferson in 1802, James Madison in 1810, James Monroe in 1818, Andrew Jackson in 1830, Martin Van Buren in 1838, Franklin Pierce in 1854, Abraham Lincoln in 1862, Ulysses S. Grant in 1870, Grover Cleveland in 1886, William McKinley in 1898, Theodore Roosevelt in 1902, Woodrow Wilson in 1914, Warren G. Harding in 1922, Calvin Coolidge in 1924, Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1934, John F. Kennedy in 1962, Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964, Jimmy Carter in 1978, and George W. Bush in 2002. Some of the Presidents who prevented an opposition party sweep in the House of Representatives have lost seats anyway, despite maintaining a House majority, A President losing House seats in a first term became normalized after the American Civil War (1861-65).

Historically, it is the President's party who loses seats in that President's first term, but in this election, Bismarck's Democratic Party made a net gain of 19 seats, while the Republicans, despite defeating only 35 Democratic incumbents, still lost a net gain of 19 seats because the Democratic gains from Republican incumbents were larger, defeating 54 Republican incumbents. The Republicans, led by Mo Brooks of Alabama, failed to achieve a historically usual victory, which it's the opposition party always gains control of the House of Representatives, that historical rule was enforced in 1994 with Clinton, 2006 with Bush, 2010 with Obama, and 2018 with Trump, but wasn't enforced in 2002 under President Bush because of 9/11. President Bismarck became the first Democratic President since Franklin D. Roosevelt whose party gained seats in the House of Representatives in that president's first term. House speaker Jonathan D. Bismarck gave up his position as Speaker of the House to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to become U.S. Senator from New York and Senate majority leader after the Democrats expanded their majority in the U.S. Senate.

These house election results reflected a backlash from both Democrats and Independents against conservative opposition to safety measures against COVID-19 during the coronavirus pandemic.

This election saw the most embarrassing performance for an opposition party since 2002, the Republican Party failed to gain any seats at all in the House of Representatives, the U.S. Senate, Governorships, and State and Local governments. This Democratic victory went on to play a big role in the 2024 U.S. Presidential Election, just like the 2002 midterm elections had a powerful impact on the 2004 U.S. Presidential Election.
