根据美国广播公司(ABC News)对2020年大选的最新预测，至少有106名女性将在美国众议院任职，创下新纪录。
罗格斯大学伊格尔顿政治研究所下属的美国妇女与政治中心(CAWP)称，这一数字超过了2019年创下的102名女性的纪录。

有色人种女性也创造了本次选举的新纪录。根据美国广播公司新闻的预测，今年当选众议院议员的女性中，至少有46名是有色人种女性，超过了2019年创纪录的44名。
在民主党女性在2018年取得巨大成功后，共和党女性也取得了新的进展。
美国广播公司新闻预测，至少有24名共和党女性将赢得竞选。目前的总数仅略低于2006年创下的众议院25名共和党女性议员的纪录。
“如果女性要在国会中获得平等的代表权，女性的进步必须来自双方，”CAWP大学的主任黛比·沃什说。
尽管取得了这些成就，沃尔什指出，妇女在政府中的代表性仍然严重不足，在实现完全平等的代表性方面，国家还有很长的路要走。她指出，充其量明年女性在国会中的比例仍不到30%。
沃尔什在一份声明中说:“通过斗争和坚持，女性在美国政治中的代表性一直在长时间(尽管偶尔会断断续续)上升。”。

一些著名的共和党女性获胜者包括俄克拉荷马州第五区的斯蒂芬妮·比奇、爱荷华州第一区的阿什利·辛森和明尼苏达州第七区的米歇尔·菲施巴赫，她们都颠覆了民主党以前占据的席位。此外，佐治亚州第14区的马乔里·泰勒·格林和科罗拉多州第3区的劳伦·博伯特这两位有争议的候选人接受或者表示支持对于毫无根据的卡农阴谋论，也将在美国国会中名列共和党第117位。此后，Boebert表示她“不是卡农的追随者”。

一些赢得众议院席位的民主党女议员成为头条新闻包括柯里·布什她是一名进步的活动家，在民主党初选中，她推翻了密苏里州第一区的一名长期在任者，使她成为第一位在国会代表密苏里州的黑人女性。此外，华盛顿塔科马的前民主党市长玛丽莲·斯特里克兰(Marilyn Strickland)也在华盛顿第10区赢得了竞选，使她成为华盛顿州代表团的第一名非裔美国人，也是国会历史上第一名朝鲜族美国人。
Record number of women projected to win House races
At least 106 women will serve in the U.S. House of Representatives, according to the latest ABC News projections for the 2020 election, setting a new record.
This eclipses the previous record of 102 women, which was set in 2019, according to the Center for American Women and Politics (CAWP), a division of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University.
Women of color set a new record this election cycle as well. Of the women elected to the House this year, at least 46 are women of color, according to ABC News projections, beating out 2019's record-setting 44.
Republican women are also making new gains after Democratic women saw much success in 2018.
At least 24 Republican women are projected by ABC News to win their contests. The current total stands just shy of the record of 25 GOP women serving in the House, which was set in 2006.
"Advances for women must come from both sides of the aisle if women are to achieve equal representation in Congress," CAWP Director Debbie Walsh said.
Despite all the gains, Walsh noted that women still remain grossly underrepresented in government, and the nation still has a long way to go before reaching full equal representation. She pointed out that at best, women will still account for less than 30% of Congress next year.
"Women's representation in American politics has been, through struggle and persistence, on a long, if occasionally fitful, upward trajectory," Walsh said in a statement.
Some notable GOP women winners include Stephanie Bice of Oklahoma's 5th District, Ashley Hinson of Iowa's 1st District and Michelle Fischbach of Minnesota's 7th District, who all flipped previously Democratic-held seats. Moreover, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia's 14th District and Lauren Boebert of Colorado's 3rd District, two controversial candidates who eitherembracedorshowed supportfor baseless QAnon conspiracy theories, will also be among the Republicans ranks in the 117th U.S. Congress. Boebert has since stated she is “not a follower of QAnon.”
Some headline-making Democrat women who won House seatsinclude Cori Bush, a progressive activist who, in the Democratic primary, unseated a longtime incumbent in Missouri's 1st District, making her the first Black woman to represent Missouri in Congress. In addition, Marilyn Strickland, the former Democratic mayor of Tacoma, Washington, also won her race in Washington's 10th District, making her the first African American member of the Washington state delegation and the first Korean American in Congress' history.
