And Politico is like...Nope. No. Didn't happen.

But it did, and there it is. The House has flipped.

Finally. They have been way behind, as if they are waiting for instruction.

219 GOP seats now. May end up with 221, but that remains to be determined.

Thank god - no more Build Back Better

Such a far cry from what MAGAS were crowing last week.

It’s a really bad result in the first off year election after a new president is elected. It seems that banning abortion and opposing student loan forgiveness doesn’t garner as many votes as Republicans expected.

Pelosi is out.Let the investigations begin. Wray fared pretty poorly yesterday already.

They called California Districts 3 and 27, which everyone has expected to go Republican, but were holding off calling because only 57% and 70% of the votes have been counted. Decision Desk is crowing like they did something amazing to call them first, but everyone has been projecting 219 to 221 for the past four days, they are just waiting for enough mail-in votes to be counted in the California races that are close enough that there is a slight chance of a flip. Democrats are ahead in the other uncalled races except for the Colorado 3, the Boebert race, where there are a couple thousand mail ballots that can be cured, and California 22, where the Democrat has been getting closer as more votes are counted.

No, “everyone” has not been saying that.

MSNBC projected 219 +/- 4 seats four or five days ago. I've been following Washington Post & ABC for updates and they showed Republicans were ahead in more districts and favored to get the majority. The two Arizona seats called for Republicans Sunday night made a Republican majority inevitable, just waiting for enough votes to confirm that Republicans would hold enough California seats. I posted in the House thread that it would be 219 or 220, because Democrats lost 4 seats in New York and 3 in Florida. The rest of the country is net even.

Good, but that’s not “everyone.”

All the decision desks knew it was headed for a 219 to 221 Republican majority.

I thought they said that that wasn’t “clear.”

They are professionals. They wait for enough votes to be counted. The trend in California is that the incumbent party is winning every race. After the NY and AZ calls, CA Republicans leading in Republican districts added up to 219, 220 with Boebert, but a few leads are close enough to wait for more mail-in votes to be counted. It’s why AP and most media have still not called CA-3 and CA-27 where Republicans are likely to win but not certain.

Decision Desk seems professional too. They were first.

How about “let’s get to work for the American people!” But no, the GOP reps didn’t say that. MTG got up and said she is excited to investigate. No one said anything about helping Americans or trying to do anything constructive.

They clearly didn’t get the message from the election. McConnell got and I can’t stand him.

It’s going to be fun watching McCarthy herding cats for the next 2 years.

He won’t last two years. His own caucus in intentionally setting him up to fail.

I expect he'll get Boehnered. Run ragged on symbolic standoffs, as they attach ridiculous terms to budget and debt ceiling legislation. Eventually doomed to either quit or pass legislation with a majority of Dems.

Is government shutdowns just on my bingo card, or is it the Free Space in the middle?

Perhaps... future president Karen Bass?
