 * November 7 – The Republican Party won 221 seats to Democrats' 214 in the United States House of Representatives; however, Republicans lost 4 seats in the United States Senate for a 50-50 split, and Democrats thereby took Senate control briefly, since Al Gore was still Vice President from January 3 until the inauguration of Dick Cheney on January 20.
