1998 United States House of Representatives elections

The 1998 United States House of Representative elections were held on November 3, 1998 during Democratic President Boxy's first term. The election was a disappointment for both Republicans, which had control of both chambers of Congress and expected to flip more seats in the House; and for the Democrats, which expected to win more seats by rallying around President Boxy's popularity. The elections were unusual regarding two aspects: a historically low turnout rate, and an astounding number of house seat flips across the country. The Liberals came out with a net seat gain of +6, outperforming expectations.

The campaign trail was marked by attacks from both sides of the aisle on the conduct of the United States Congress, sporting an approval rating of only 24%. Other issues included the immigration crisis, the right to gay marriage, an active recession, disputes over foreign policy, and international trade.
