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.

And NJ wasn’t supposed to even be a race…

We’ll know in 9 months.
Democrats know they are heading for a slaughter. A full 15% of their current sitting members have announce they are retiring…

GOP is heading to a huge win, short of something drastic change.

Keep in mind in 94 And 10 economy was recovering and inflation didn’t exist…

You don’t get double digit inflation and not pay a huge cost,if you are in charge… doesn’t matter which party is in power. Have inflation at highest in 40 years, you get bitch slapped… and that’s what’s coming.
