Donald Trump's legacy on US politics reflected in four new members of Congress

The Democrats narrowly kept their majority in the House of Representatives.

About half of Donald Trump's supporters believe, at least partially, in a theory known as QAnon.

The Republican House minority leader said in a Fox News interview that Greene's past comments would not stop him from giving her committee assignments.

Conspiracy theories aside, Greene is also notable for being one of 31 Republican women elected to the Congress — a record number for the party and more than double what it was in 2018.

Boebert is another female, Republican QAnon supporter, or at least a QAnon non-denier.

Boebert's ability to transform fame into elected office speaks to the Trump impact on Republican politics: Hard-right political outsiders have undeniable sway with voters.

When it comes to the left, no figure has gained more attention than Bush — the first black woman elected to the House of Representatives from Missouri.

The two were featured in a 2018 documentary about the new wave of far-left women running for congress, Knock Down the House, though Bush lost her race that year.

It's likely that Bush will be the newest member of Ms Ocasio-Cortez's group of young female representatives, known as "the Squad".

Bush represents one of 100 Democratic women voted in this election cycle, which is short of the record the party set in the 2018 midterms, when women helped flip 21 seats.

Though the Democratic party didn't quite see a repeat wave of young women of colour filling congress, Bush's win confirms that with the left, too, political outsiders with non-centrist views are still winning support.

At 25, the North Carolinian is the youngest ever to be elected to the House of Representatives and is a rising star the party appears to be rallying behind.

Similar to his Democratic female counterparts, he's connecting well with young voters on social media sites.
