The House majority is the Republican party, but the Senate it is the Democratic party.

Democratic Party
Currently the Democratic party is perceived as more cohesive,since they control the Presidency, the House, and the Senate
242 U. S. House seats and 19 U. S. Senate seats under Democratic control remained under Democratic control. 138 U. S. House seats and 10 U. S. Senate seats under Republican control remained under Republican control. 49 U. S. House seats and 4 U. S. Senate seats went from Republican control to Democratic control. 6 U. S. House seat and 1 U. S. Senate seat went from Democratic control to Republican control. Net changes: The Republican Party lost 43 House seats and 3 Senate seats. The Democratic Party gained 43 House seats and 3 Senate seats. The change was due largely to the embarrassment brought onto the Republican Party when former President Nixon's role in the Watergate break-in and cover-up was revealed.
When one party controls the House and the other controls the Senate it is called divided government.
