No it will be a multiple of 30 , probably closer to a multiple of 3-4.

Generic ballot right now has a lead GOP has never seen before, this fall is going to make 1994 and 2008 look like nothing.

People vote with their pocket books… go find me a Joe Biden supporter right now… I can’t find a single person I know who a year ago was celebrating even willing to publicly defend their vote now.

NJ nearly flipped. VA clean swept… unless the political landscape drastically changes between now and November the GOP will run the floor ups and down the ballot in all but the bluest of districts.

Could something change in 9 months? Sure… will it? I highly doubt it

Sad thing about this kind of wipe out is that sadly some new RINOS will wind up in office replacing once pushed out… but that’s another issue

Good points, but from a historical perspective let's keep two things in mind here:

1. The GOP held 213 House seats after the 2020 election.

2. They only held 176 going into the 1994 election, and 178 going into 2010.

In other words, the most recent "Red Wave" elections for the GOP came in years when they had a lot more upside than they do now. For them to match that historical performance they'd have to win some seats in 2022 that haven't even had serious Republican contenders in decades.

Here's something else to consider: The aftermath of the 2014 elections saw the Democrats end up with 188 seats in the House -- their lowest total since the 1940s. The GOP would put them back at that level with a gain of just 25 seats.

In other words ... the GOP isn't likely to win dozens and dozens more seats than they already have.
