Photo of new House members shows big gap in diversity between parties

Proportion of Democrats who are white men will drop from 41% to 38% while Republican figure will climb from 86% to 90%

Pictures of the newly elected members of the House of Representatives have highlighted a stark difference between the diversity of incoming Democrats and incoming Republicans.

The 2018 midterm elections helped Democrats elect a diverse class of incoming members but the losses suffered by Republicans made their House caucus even more white and male.
