They’re also trying to keep the support going. The Dems (other than the extreme left) are embarrassed and demoralized and do not support the hard left turn of the party.

Well with redistricting in OH and TX happening and GOP controlling both states heavily. The 5 Sean (on paper) majority. 220 to 215 could be a 13-15 seat majority on paper after redistricting.

It’s very hard to imagine that the Dems can’t pick up 3 seats and swing the house to their favor, even as unpopular as they are.

7-8? Well that still should be realistically doable, but given where they are as a party, I wouldn’t call it automatic.

The big question is will the Trump voters show for the midterms? If they do, 7-8 may be a bridge too far for the Democrats. This is the current GOP issue, the Trump supporters and the GOP overlap, but they are not the same. There is a segment of Trump voters historically stay home when Trump is not directly on the ballot.

If Trump is able to get them to show up to the midterms I think the Dems chance of getting a 7-8 seat gain may be just too much for them. We shall see.

However I still stand by the lunacy that Dowd is espousing that a few weeks of headlines in summer 2025 have shifted the dynamic drastically for an election. I fall of 2026.

We shall see
