I think we take back quite a bunch of House seats, enough to retake the House!
“Republicans lead in eight competitive California House districts 49-47% (acc to Cook Political Report these districts are CA-02, -10, -21, -22, -25, -39, -48 and -50).”
Coop, did you mean CA-07 instead of CA-02? Because the CA-02 is overwhelmingly Democrat, so it wouldn’t be described as “competitive” by Cook, much less show the Republican candidate ahead in a poll.
Among the districts listed, two should be safe Republican (Nunes’s CA-22 and the open CA-50 that Hunter vacated), but the others would be very nice pickups (and CA-25 a nice hold for newly elected Mike García). Our other potential U.S. House pickups in California are 36, 45, 49 and 52.
