Republicans will control the House of Representatives, NBC News projected Tuesday — a full week after Election Day.

The result comes after NBC News projected that Democrats would take the Senate, meaning President Joe Biden confronts a divided Congress with implications for his agenda and other priorities. Even with a small majority, Republicans in Congress will still have a powerful check on Biden, who can now expect a louder microphone for his critics and a rush of congressional investigations into his administration and his family, potentially culminating in a push by the most conservative in the House to impeach him.

But he can count on allies in the Democratic Senate to confirm his judicial and administration appointments, even if his legislative agenda is effectively dead in the water thanks to the GOP House.
