The 1974 United States House of Representatives elections were elections for the United States House of Representatives in 1974 that occurred in the wake of the Watergate scandal, which had forced President Richard Nixon to resign in favor of Gerald Ford. This scandal, along with high inflation, allowed the Democrats to make large gains in the midterm elections, taking 48 seats from the Republicans (an additional seat was gained, for a net gain of 49, when Representative Joe Moakley from Massachusetts switched his party affiliation back to Democrat after winning his 1972 election as an independent), and increasing their majority above the two-thirds mark. Altogether, there were 93 freshmen representatives in the 94th Congress when it convened on January 3, 1975 (76 of them Democrats). Thos

  • Die Wahlen zum Repräsentantenhaus der Vereinigten Staaten 1974 fanden am 5. November 1974 statt. Dabei wurden in den Vereinigten Staaten die Abgeordneten des Repräsentantenhauses gewählt. Die Wahlen waren Teil der allgemeinen Wahlen zum 94. Kongress der Vereinigten Staaten. In diesem Jahr wurde auch ein Drittel der US-Senatoren gewählt. Die Zahl der zu wählenden Abgeordneten betrug 435. Die Verteilung der Sitze nach Bundesstaaten basierte auf der Volkszählung von 1970. Bei der Wahl gewannen die Demokraten stark hinzu. Mit einem Zugewinn von 48 Sitzen kamen sie nun auf 291 Mandate. Das war ein Sitz über der Zweidrittelmehrheit. Entsprechend verloren die Republikaner, die nur noch 144 Kongressabgeordnete stellten. Grund dafür war neben der Wirtschaftskrise Anfang der 1970er Jahre vor allem die Watergate-Affäre, die im August 1974 auch den republikanischen Präsidenten Richard Nixon zum Rücktritt gezwungen hatte und den Republikanern schwer schadeten. Dies führte zu massiven Verlusten bei allen bedeutenden . Besonders schwer wog in den Augen der Wähler die Begnadigung Nixons durch seinen Amtsnachfolger Gerald Ford. (de)

Altogether, there were 93 freshmen representatives in the 94th Congress when it convened on January 3, 1975 (76 of them Democrats). Those elected to office that year later came to be known collectively as "Watergate Babies." The gain of 49 Democratic seats was the largest pickup by the party since 1958. As of 2022, this was the last time the Democrats gained 45 or more seats in a House election. (en)
