Control Of House 2022

So the Republicans are leading the total vote (across all seats) number by about 6 million. Where are our popular vote advocates and do they support the Republicans being awarded House leadership because they got more votes even if they don't win more seats?

I think we have three way inland in California that will end up red. Perhaps four?

But , yeah...nine are blue locks

Have you looked at which particular districts?
If they are red I feel better
So that leaves CO and AK

Yes. They are all ones bordering another state. Good size red patch up / down the east side of California. Two are Hispanic Republicans which certainly is fine for all.

Also two decent shots in Tucson area of Arizona.

Going to be tight.

Let me see if I can relocate that map.

If Sarah Palin effs the race up and a Democrat gets the seat she should be run out of the Republican Party. If I was an Alaskan I wouldn't vote for a quitter and wouldn't quit when they needed her to.

In California, the four hopeful districts are CA-22 (Valadao), CA-27 (Garcia), CA-41 (Calvert), CA-45 (Steel).

I do not understand the Alaska race. Will they have runoff? Or, if Palin has most Red votes she inherits the Red votes from other lady?

Republicans remained poised to win control of the House of Representatives with more than a dozen races still uncalled Monday, as Congress returned to work and new members set to take office next year began orientation.
Democrats are projected to hold their Senate majority after a weekend win in Nevada, giving them the 50 seats needed to control the chamber. A final Senate race, in Georgia, is set for a runoff on Dec. 6 because neither candidate got a majority.
In the House, the GOP appeared on track to win the barest of majorities, nonpartisan analysts said. On Sunday night, additional vote tallies in California and Arizona put Republican candidates in striking distance of victory, though those races hadn’t been called.
“Dems’ dreams of holding the House majority probably died tonight,” David Wasserman, the House editor of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, tweeted Sunday, referring to shifts toward Republicans in three races in those states.

Republicans currently have won 212 House seats with Democrats at 204, according to the Associated Press tally. A party needs 218 for a majority in the chamber. The GOP could end up only a couple of seats above that number, and the party got a boost Sunday by flipping a seat held by Democrats in Oregon.
Headed into the election, Democrats had a 220-212 majority, with three vacancies.
The possibility of an extremely narrow GOP majority is already creating challenges for Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R., Calif.). Mr. McCarthy is running to be speaker assuming Republicans take back the House, but he is meeting resistance from his party’s right flank, which now has greater leverage to influence the vote.
Mr. McCarthy will need a simple majority of his conference during Tuesday’s leadership vote, to be selected as the party’s preference for leader. To become speaker, he will need a majority of the full House in a vote in January.
Rep. Andy Biggs (R., Ariz.) plans to run against Mr. McCarthy for the post, according to people familiar with the matter. The ally of former President Donald Trump is unlikely to get enough votes to win, but the candidacy could provide a gauge of opposition to Mr. McCarthy.

Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R., Ky.) was also facing pushback from some of his Republican members, who questioned whether the party should delay the leadership election until after the Georgia runoff, in which Republican Herschel Walker is facing Democratic incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock. The Senate GOP elections are set for Wednesday.

New members are in Washington this week for orientation. Some who hadn’t had their races called were also invited and would be included in leadership votes. House Democrats will vote for their leadership later this month and the Senate is expected to keep their same top leaders.
Democrats had performed better than expected in the midterm elections, even with the anticipated loss of the House majority. They picked up a GOP-held Senate seat and flipped some House seats, including in Washington over the weekend.
Of the remaining uncalled competitive House races, a half-dozen were in California. They included the re-election contests of Democratic Reps. Katie Porter and Mike Levin and GOP Reps. David Valadao, Mike Garcia and Michelle Steel as well as one open seat. Both parties were also intensely watching close contests in Arizona, Colorado and Oregon.

Amen on that bro....amen.

Three for the blue team.

Red: 215
Blue: 204

Four more reds on east coast of California, of which three have a good lead, and the fourth is favored/leading/incumbent.

I'm thinking the stock market will like those odds tomorrow.

These are not statewide races. These only involve a few precincts. Here we are a week later and they're still counting votes. What the hell takes so long? This is what breeds mistrust in our democracy
