As of 2013, there are more US voters registered as Republicans than as Democrats. But that doesn't mean everyone votes for their party affiliation.
In 2010, self-identification of US registered voters was 52% Republican to 43% Democrat.

∙ 10y agoRepublicans out number any other affiliation with between 50-60 million registered voters.
Democrats have about 35-45 million registered voters.
Also, about 30-40 million people are registered as Independents.
Sadly only 1/3 of Americans actually vote in the general elections.
The answer to this question depends on what/whom you are counting. The number of registered political party members, the number of elected officials, or the number of voters actually voting one way or the other. The related question below asking a similar question gives additional detail with more of this considered.

∙ 11y agoCongress is made up of the House of Representatives and the Senate.
The Republicans have a majority of House members. There are 435 House members, of these 241 are Republicans and 191 are Democrats a margin for the Republicans of 50 House members.
The United States Senate has 100 members. The Democrats have a majority in the Senate with 51 Democratic Senators and two independents who caucus with the Democrats. There are 47 Republicans in the Senate at this time. The margin for the Democrats in the Senate is 4.
A simple majority (50/50) in the Senate is not very meaningful these days. The minority party (in this case the Republicans) frequently insist on filibuster on important pieces of legislation. To get past a filibuster to get to a vote one party needs a super majority (60/40.) So numbers can be deceiving.
Therefore the answer to your question regarding the party with the largest number of members in Congress is the Republican Party.
