Out of 20 midterms, only twice did a president's party increase House seats: Bill Clinton's Democrats in 1998 and George W. Bush's Republicans in 2002. Bush's 2002 Republicans are the only party to gain seats in both chambers simultaneously, highlighting the challenge for Trump's Republicans in retaining Congress control.
