United States House of Representatives elections, 1996
The U.S. House election, 1996 was an election for the United States House of Representatives on November 5, 1996 which coincided with the re-election of Bill Clinton as President. Clinton's Democratic Party won a net of eight seats from the Republican Party, but the Republicans retained an overall majority in the House. This was also a rare instance in which the winning party in the House failed to win the popular vote.
