Why the fascination with house control?
With a Trump presidency it won't make any difference, other than bragging rights.
Nonsense.
It makes a huge difference. Just gaining control of the house is enough to put some of Trump's crazier antics on hold.
The senate would be even better because then the unqualified hacks he appoints to high level positions wouldn't be able to get confirmed, but the house alone is enough to at least put an upper bound on just how much craziness he can enact.
A 23% Republican lean to a district is pretty likely to go R. Especially when you consider WV and many southern states still have older voters registered D who are more likely to vote R in current races.
Ojeda (D) is going to win WV-3. WV is one of the few places that vote for the person in large part.
True, but the current guy is out and Ojeda is pretty well-known. I wouldn't be surprised to see it flip, especially if miners are mad that Trump didn't magically bring back all the jobs that have disappeared.
Far more than Evan Jenkins did. Evan Jenkins supported the mine owners. Ojeda supports the miners. One anecdotal example proves nothing but my wife has never voted to send a (D) to Washington. We do not live in WV-3 but she wishes she could vote for him.
Not sure about this year, but it has happened since 2016(2017)
So, never mind the fact that some of the people who lost we're against the special sessions , literally took 1 Google search to fibd that.
Some people vote R over D and vice versa. It's that simple .
Watch what happens over the next few elections. The (R)'s were just as lame as the (D)'s before them and are going to start losing seats.
