The U.S. House election 1970 was an election for the United States House of Representatives held on November 3 1970 in the middle of President Richard M. Nixon’s first term. The President’s Republican Party lost seats in this case a net of 12 to the Democratic Party which thus increased modestly its majority in the House. Many viewed the results as the American public showing fatigue over the ongoing Vietnam War.
