The opposition Republican Party had recovered from the split they underwent during the 1912 presidential election, and they made large gains in seats from the Democratic Party, but did not gain a majority. The growing economy, lead to pro-business beliefs taking precedence, and allowed the Republicans to regain many districts. Many former Progressives rejoined the Republican Party, but a number of the most liberal members of the House remained under this banner. Congressman Carl Vinson D-Georgia, who would set the since broken record for longest continuous tenure in the House, was elected to his first full term in this election.
