House Democrats are barely holding onto their majority, with Rep.-elect Julia Letlow, R-La., set to be sworn in Wednesday morning.
Letlow will probably be becoming a member of the House within the seat initially gained by her husband, Luke Letlow, who died in September from COVID-19 earlier than he was speculated to be sworn in. Julia Letlow gained a particular election in March.
This provides Republicans 212 seats within the House, catching as much as Democrats’ 218. Since tie votes fail within the House, which means Democrats can’t lose greater than two votes from their get together to go laws if the GOP totally opposes them.
That slim margin of error might forestall Democrats from passing extra progressive payments that moderates of their get together could not assist.
Some reinforcements could quickly be on the way in which, nevertheless, with Democrats favored in two of the three House particular elections that will probably be held over the following two months.
A particular runoff election in Louisiana’s 2nd Congressional District will probably be held on April 24 – and the 2 candidates going through off within the solidly blue district are each Democrats. The race is to fill the seat of former Rep. Cedric Richmond, who stepped down to affix President Biden’s administration as senior adviser and director of the Workplace of Public Liaison.

And nobody proofread it or caught it.
if the pubbies held 300 seats, they’d still be useless
Well said.
In the November 2020 Congressional elections, Republicans did not lose one incumbent seat and GAINED (by my count) 14 seats, enough to almost cause Pelosi to lose the Speakership. Many of the seats gained were in states that
supposedly Trump lost.
DOES ANYONE BELIEVE THIS?
Equally useless if they hand 430 seats
Unless Donald Trump himself were to become Speaker of the House and whip the RINOs into shape, any GOP majority will simply become the Ryanesque lapdog of the Left.
A lot of what I would call "challenged" Feepers need concrete proof...
RE: A lot of what I would call “challenged” Feepers need concrete proof...
Well, I’m always open to reasonable explanations. Can they explain how the down ballots all went Republican except the most important one?
A better indicator would be the SENATE races -- because a Senate race is a statewide election just like the presidential race is. And in those races, the presidential and Senate elections matched almost perfectly.
1. Every Republican candidate won in those states that Trump won.
2. With the exception of the Maine race where RINO Susan Collins won, every Democratic candidate won in those states that Biden won -- including all the "swing" races in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan and New Hampshire.
The entire excerpt reads like it was translated through 3 or 4 different languages. The math hurt a bit as well.
It’s like money laundering prosecution. You have to extrapolate because guess what?, the perps make it HARD to follow the trail.
This reads as gibberish!
The Dems always march in goose-stepping unison with perfect obedience. It doesn’t matter if Nancy has a 2 vote margin or 200 vote margin, she will always get what she wants.
“This reads as gibberish!”
You think that’s bad, look at this:
Within the meantime, Democratic management has remained assured within the face of shrinking leverage.
“Frankly, we’re doing OK as Democrats as you take a look at this quarter,” Home Majority Chief Steny Hoyer, D-Md., mentioned in March.
Equally, Home Speaker Nancy Pelosi mentioned final March that advancing her get together’s agenda is “not going to be an issue.”
It isn’t edited it is translated from a foreign language.
Party. Not “get together”.
Special election. Not “particular”.
This reads like it went through Google Translate.
Um, no.
Um, no.
The GOP actually lost three seats to the ‘Rats. Two were in North Carolina, where the ‘Rat controlled state Supreme Court redrew the congressional district lines to create ‘Rat majorities in 5 out of 13 districts (the GOP had held 10 of the 13 seats). The other was in Georgia, where GOP Rep. Rob Woodall retired (he survived the 2018 election by about 700 out of 300,000 votes cast).
The GOP did flip 15 ‘Rat seats (8 were incumbents) as well as traitor Justin Amash’s seat in the 2020 election, for a net gain of 13. If my memory serves me right, the gains were in California, +4; New York, +2; Florida, +2; Iowa, +2; Michigan +1, South Carolina, +1; Oklahoma, +1; Minnesota, +1; New Mexico, +1; Utah, +1.
None of the GOP representatives who won in 2018 and ran for re-election in 2020 lost.
The actions of the ‘Rat controlled PA Supreme Court and a Virginia US District Court proved to be the difference in the election, as the ‘Rats gained 4 seats in PA and 2 seats in VA since the 2016 election due to court ordered redistricting. If our candidates had run in the districts drawn by the legislatures in these two states, the GOP would have 218 members right now, with the Texas GOP vacancy to be decided next month.
I think Nancy Pelosi is worried about whether the ‘Rats can hold the Albuquerque seat that Deb Haaland vacated to become Secretary of the Interior (the Rats won by 58% to 42% in the past two elections). Biden’s policies have been a disaster for New Mexico. The other ‘Rat vacancies are in New Orleans, the east side of Cleveland, and the Alcee Hastings “minority majority” seat in southeast Florida, which are all safe ‘Rat, except that the Ohio seat won’t be filled until November.
The worst Republican is still better than the best Democrat.
