This would be well over the 23 needed to take control of the US House. We are now well past Labor Day, my cut-off when election predictions actually start to become meaningful.
Such a blue wave would also seem to put GOP control of the US Senate in jeopardy. That IMO would be of even more significance, due to the potential of Clarence Thomas and Ruth Bader-Ginsberg leaving the Supreme Court.

The odds of the Dims getting over 50 Senators is extremely low. They could gain control of the House which of course will just stalemate the government except Trump will be able to get his Supreme Court justices confirmed. I'm not sold on this House Blue Wave yet because Dims don't typically show up in the mid-terms, too busy protesting to vote.

Democrats did not show up much in 2010 and 2014, but there was a very different president in the White House those years. Primary election turnout this year has suggested voters are much more motivated to show up than in past midterms.
Matt Drudge, the founder of the conservative news aggregation site Drudge Report, predicted Friday that the GOP would lose 60 seats in the House in November's midterm elections.

Yeah that could happen but Repubs are also motivated because we are finally getting decent governance. I've been saying for a long time that it's 50-50 on the Dims taking the House. Considering the built in polling and reporting bias, the "Blue Wave" is not so certain.
