Am I missing something? coz from the declared seats the republicans have a lead in the Senate and House. Just google US midterm election.

GOP: 145
DEM: 136

If the republicans can flip maybe 1 or 2 more, they have a chance at keeping the house. They called it wayyy too early imo

They have not even called any of the races in CA and the D's are already right there

I think the R's have only actually flipped all of 2 seats

Some of the R's that have lost in past cycles literally had no one running against them, not in the primary and in some cases also literally no one in the general.

well a year ago the R's were talking about picking up 6 or 7 seats now it looks closer to maybe 4

Just remember this though any D to R seat will be up in 2024 when Trump will NOT be on the ballot in any way shape or form

It's heartening that the House changed hands, but that doesn't negate the fact that for a large segment of the population racism, misogyny and bigotry aren't disqualifying characteristics for public office. We also had two Republican Congressmen who are under indictment who won. Iowa actually returned a white supremacist, neo-nazi to the House. We took a big step towards saving our way of life but it's still in grave danger. Don't become complacent.

I'm sure the most corrupt president ever wants to keep the books closed on his finances. Now that his protectors are vanquished from the House his protection from Lady Justice is over. Threatening revenge for an investigation even as Republicans spent millions of taxpayer dollars on political witch hunts.

But even as he claimed victory, he quickly went on offense against the newly elected Democratic House, threatening to retaliate if the opposition uses its new subpoena power to investigate him for corruption and obstruction of justice in an early foreshadowing of the bitter partisan warfare that could dominate the next two years.

Despite Loss of House, Trump Claims ‘Big Victory’ and Threatens Democrats
