The 1996 United States House of Representatives elections was an election for the U.S. House of Representatives on November 5, 1996, which coincided with the re-election of Bill Clinton as President of the United States. Clinton's Democratic Party won by almost 60,000 votes (0.07%) and gained a net of two[3][4] seats from the Republican Party, but the Republicans retained an overall majority of seats in the House for the first time since 1928. The election is similar to the 1952 elections, although, in terms of the total vote this result remains one of the closest in U.S. history. Notable freshmen included future Senators Jerry Moran, Debbie Stabenow, Roy Blunt, John E. Sununu, and John Thune, future Governor of Arkansas Asa Hutchinson, future Governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevich, future Governor of Nevada Jim Gibbons, former Mayor of Cleveland and future Presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich, former Lieutenant Governor of Rhode Island Robert Weygand, and future Constitution Party Presidential nominee Virgil Goode.
