United States House elections, 1954
Encyclopedia
The U.S. House election, 1954 was an election for the United States House of Representatives
in 1954 which occurred in the middle of President Dwight Eisenhower's first term. Eisenhower's Republican Party
lost eighteen seats in the House, giving the Democratic Party
a majority that it would retain in every Congressional election until 1994.
Perhaps the major reason for the Republican defeat was the fallout from the Army-McCarthy Hearings
, in which prominent Republican Senator Joe McCarthy
accused countless political and intellectual figures of having Communist ties, usually with no evidence. Another issue was the Dixon-Yates contract
to supply power to the Atomic Energy Commission
.
Sam Rayburn
of Texas became Speaker of the House
, exchanging places with new Minority Leader
Joseph W. Martin, Jr. of Massachusetts.
