Pro-cryptocurrency Republicans win House seats, but majority control remains to be determined

The two Republicans running for seats in the U.S. House of Representatives defeated their Democratic opponents in the 2024 election, narrowing the gap between the party maintaining a majority in the House, but majority control remains to be determined. Among them, Republican Jeff Hurd won the House election in Colorado's 3rd Congressional District with 50.1% of the vote (89% of the vote). Another Republican, Scott Perry, defeated Democrat Janelle Stelson in Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District and was re-elected. While in office, Scott Perry voted for the 21st Century Financial Innovation and Technology Act (FIT21), which has bipartisan support in the House of Representatives and is currently awaiting a vote in the US Senate. According to Jeff Hurd's campaign website, the Republican intends to support "FIT21-like legislation" and favors "sensible regulation of advanced technologies such as cryptocurrencies".
