“I received a gracious phone call from Rep. Max Rose today conceding the election,” wrote State Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis on Twitter...

Rose, a freshman Democrat in the lower chamber had flipped the seat two years ago in what is widely considered one of the most conservative districts in New York City. Rose was one of 41 Democratic lawmakers to oust Republicans in 2018 to reclaim the House majority halfway into President Donald Trump’s first term putting California Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi back in the speaker’s chair.

The Republican victory in New York marks the GOP’s tenth pick-up for a net gain of six seats in the House, a majority of whom are women...

Last week’s losses however, have stunned Democrats where leadership expected to pick up as many as 15 to 20 seats expanding their ranks. On Monday, Illinois Democrat Rep.

Flipped 10 to R, but a net gain of only 6. Must have been some retirements.

If the GOPe hadn’t dug the party into a deep hole in 2018, they GOP could have taken back the House majority this election.

Jeanne Ives in the Illinois 6th District needs a recount! The Dem incumbent Sean Casten stole the election with the same machines used in Michigan.

If the GOPe allows the leftists to steal the presidency in 2022 I will vote against every incumbent Republican in the primary.

Democrats were so intent on winning the presidency, that they didn’t have enough time or will to defend their house seats. To them, the presidency is what matters, while they hoped that luck would keep their seats safe.

NY3, my CD, would be another flip. Santo leads Suozzi by 1.5 points with 100% counted.

Not sure why Big Media hasn't called it.

If those voting machines can be proved to be dramatically rigged (in time), then possibly enough House seats might flip to give the Republicans the House (plus the Senate and Presidency).

Pray with me.
