Kevin McCarthy declares GOP will take majority in the House, push out Pelosi as speaker

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy declared victory on Tuesday saying that Republicans had secured enough seats to flip control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

"I want to thank the millions of supporters across this country," said McCarthy, R-Calif. "It is clear we are going to take the House back."

McCarthy told a throng of supporters at a victory party in Washington, D.C, that the feat was possible because of the diverse array of candidates Republicans had recruited this cycle.

"If you believe in freedom, hard work and the American dream these results prove there is a place for you in the Republican Party," said McCarthy. "We are expanding this party."

The comments came despite control for the House of Representatives being too close to call. While Republicans had succeeded in ousting vulnerable Democrats, a significant number of House races had yet to be called.

Laxalt’s lead is growing.

[Right_Wing_Madman]

Laxakt now WINNING and Masters closing in on Mark Kelly.

It looks like Laxalt is going to win Reno county, which is surprising.

Please!

We need it

[Dr. Franklin]

We didn’t fix 2020 and we expected different results in 2022?!?!?!?!?
This Country is DONE!!!!!!!!!!!
You will NEVER convince me there were enough IDIOTS to vote for higher gas prices, higher food prices and more inflation
THIS ELECTION WAS STOLEN!!!!!!!!!!!\

Yes, the Dems are still stealing elections, BUT that has a consequence in other places, AND it gets harder to keep stealing elections when people know it. There will be legal challenges in places like PA to Uncle Festerman. With proper leadership in Congress, each house of Congress has the power to refuse to recognize a member who was certified by that state due to election fraud. McConnelll and McCarthy won't do that so they must go! Congress can also withhold funding for states that don't meet national standards in how they run elections, and certainly can reform mail in ballots sent through the USPS. Again, it requires leadership in Congress.

NBC CALLED THE HOUSE FOR REPUBS..220 TO 215

[Forward the Light Brigade]

Hope—some ray of hope in a night that offered little. Once Oz went down in flames to Fetterman a dark cloud hovered over the night. Are Americans so short sighted? Well, maybe they need this government for some reason—Maybe God is punishing our land for some reason? Sack cloth and ashes time. Next comes the new Pearl Harbor and WW III—the war we will lose. Let us pray. Jesus is our only Hope Now.

It’s possible that the dems decided to cheat early this time, so the cheating would get lost in the process. We need clear-cut rules about auditing the counting process. Not re-counts.

[NeverCheney]

Thanks Great news if true

[BookmanTheJanitor]

It’s a projection....not a call

[Tipllub]

This is just showing that if everyone currently leading wins the Republicans win the House.

So who knows.

But McCarthy must have some level of confidence that this holds to make this announcement …

[PerConPat]

That works for me...Hope it holds...I was looking at 219 for quite a while; it's only one seat- but I'll take all we can get.

[ronnie raygun]

Milque toast McCarthy, just what we need today

[cowboyusa]

I’m thinking bigger than that. CA is going our way.

[goldstategop]

After all of this Republicans barely won the House,

The Senate will likely remain Dem.

In another era, the economy, crime and supply chain issues would finished off the Democrats.

For Biden, its a huge win! An unpopular President beat the historical odds.

Democrats managed to staunch massive bleeding,

[SaveFerris]

It will give Nancy more time to purchase hammers

[goldstategop]

The Democrats are three seats shy of a majority. They should have lost 30! Yup, Nancy is the big winner despite losing. Dems are in a strong position to take the House back in 2024.

[Phoenix8]

And as usual the north east goes solidly democrat. WTH is wrong with that area?

However that’s nothing compared to my shock over Fetterman.

[goldstategop]

Oz was never a conservative and PA GOP voters decided not to go for a more electable candidate.

I can’t say I’m disappointed he lost.

[FlipWilson]

In PA no candidate would have made a difference. Mail in voting. It was done before the first “vote” was counted.

[joma89]

Agreed. The uniparty won last night.
