In the '''midterm elections of 1954''', the [[Democratic Party]] gained 19 seats in the [[U.S. House of Representatives]] and two seats in the [[U.S. Senate]] from the [[Republican Party]], enough to give them a narrow majority in both houses of Congress. They would retain the majority in the House until 1995.
Republicans praised the [[Eisenhower]] administration, the [[economy]] was prosperous and the [[Korean War]] ended. Democrats focused on local issues, talking about economic hardships of farmers and rallied around their labor constituency by attacking the [[Taft-Hartley Act]], which monitors the activities and power of labor unions.
