With only 7 seats needed to turn Congress into a Republican majority, it’s clear that with nearly two dozen seats, many are leaning heavily Republican, and with enough margin to predict wins.

Colorado has two, one of which will be red. New York has one seat left, which again has a large red lead along with at least. At least 1 seat in Arizona has a large red lead. And at least 5 seats in California. Yes over 5 races in California have Republican leads, some of which are significant.

That’s at least 8 seats, could be more. Pelosi’s gavel will once again have red stickers. Question for this thread is, will the new majority Republican House Speaker rip up Biden’s state of the union transcript? What if Republicans don’t invite Biden in and other Pelosi-isms? For any deniers on this outcome, this is why democrats went on the Babylon Bee and recommended Liz as the house leader, despite her big loss (trouncing) in the primary.

It will certainly be an interesting next two years with Republicans running the House.

Not sure why some seats haven’t been called. The NY race is gonna go GOP for sure. Boebert in all likelihood has won too as the outstanding vote is mostly in red areas. Likewise there should be 2-3 obvious Dem wins that haven’t been called yet. CNN has 20 as tossup but reality is only 13-14 still are

I will believe it when it’s over but not till then. More ballots might be found like the ones that were tossed somewhere in CA mountains. Might find some large amounts in obscure places. At this late date, Americans still don’t have results? That’s messed up.
If Rs take the house, there will be just a few who can be bribed, blackmailed or threatened and will act and vote like democrats.

The inability to accept defeat fair and square, and respectably, is likely a deciding factor that made Independents reject the Rs this go-round.

Claiming fraud where there is none, is extremely unattractive and off-putting.

Not sure what you’re looking at but republicans won independents handily on exit polls in most jurisdictions. The turnout among normally non voting or rarely off cycle voting Dems is what made the difference

Exit polls isn't the same as actual ballot counts.

I'm going by a very fabulous Megyn Kelly show, where she was pleading on Thursday for answers to why the Independents didn't swing red as expected.

Give me a break.

Voting fraud is a standard, cherished practice among dems.

The good thing about the dems and election fraud is that such behavior will hasten secession among the sane states so that we can finally be shed of the liberal loons.

16 uncalled races, Dems lead in 9 of them.

Best guess right now, We end up with a 220-215 R majority

Thats not a functioning majority for R's . Its going to hurt them in 2024 because some districts are going to be redrawn anyways. NC, Ohio, Alabama, Louisiana. Probably New York, and depending on the Louisiana ruling, Texas and Georgia.

I don’t know what you’re implying but it’s a bad look.
There were tossed ballots found in CA mountains. Fact.
Let’s see. I am stating a fact, and you see it as “claiming voter fraud”?
sure, lady. Whatever you say.
