We were facing an uphill battle to begin with and not likely to hold the House majority anyway even without the Epstein fiasco.
As I said, the Bolshevik/freak/Karen base turns out like their lives depend on it when they feel they have a chance to vote against the Bad Orange Man.
The normies aren’t as engaged anymore in non-Presidential elections and we need every vote we can get. So if any percentage of the hardcore MAGA base is turned off, it just makes it that much more difficult.
Combine Epstein, Ukraine, endorsing the Queen of the Neocons in Graham, it seems like the Deep State will always prevail, since the most bold and disruptive President in our lifetimes is looking lately like he’s been neutered at best or told “play ball or else” at worst.
Depending on those marginal seats in NY and California to hold the majority is like being a fan of an NFL team whose chance to make the playoffs depends on four other teams losing simultaneously on the last day of the season.
I hope your optimism prevails in the end.
