The house will be a blood bath for Democrats...

The Senate? Was never likely to be a bloodbath, but GOP certainly should have taken the majority... now I’m not so sure...

OZ IMHO pretty much handed PA to the Dems... so GOP has to pick up 1 somewhere just to stay at 50/50 now...

Looking at the states in play, GA and AZ are the most likely GOP pick ups.. Possibly NH... Other states they could pick up if this election is nationalized and a referendum on Biden and the Damage he has done to the D brand... etc...

If OZ does by some miracle pull off PA, look for Dems to just be abjectly slaughtered everywhere electorially.. up and down the ballot... because if that happens the vote is purely about a rejection of the Dem Brand as a whole

Earlier this year I would have said the fall election will be nationalized and become a complete repudiation of the D brand as a whole... now, I’m not so sure.. I still expect big GOP wins, but a lot of dumb self inflicted wounds by the GOP may temper that

Trump wing in House GOP set to grow

House Republicans are not only forecast to win control of the lower chamber in November’s midterm elections, they’re also poised to bring with them a roster of new arrivals who have embraced the former president

A number of Trump loyalists have bumped off more moderate Republicans in the summer primaries — a list that grew longer on Tuesday with conservative victories in Florida and New York — while a number of other centrists are stepping into retirement.

The combination foreshadows a power shift in the House GOP that has the potential to complicate any bipartisan compromise with President Biden, while creating headaches for Republican leaders who will face pressure to demonstrate their governing chops in a new majority.

“I believe that [House Minority Leader] Kevin McCarthy [Calif.] would have a rough time of it,” said David Mayhew, a political scientist at Yale University.

Joe Kent, a former Green Beret, defeated pro-impeachment Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler in a Washington GOP primary earlier this month with the help of an endorsement from Trump. Running as an “America First” Republican, he railed against the “establishment” and publicly said that McCarthy, the House GOP leader, should not be Speaker.

And he’s hardly alone.
