Democrats are looking on nervously as their last-ditch goal of recapturing the House in an otherwise brutal election shows signs of fizzling.
Why it matters: The House emerged early Wednesday morning as Democrats' last hope of denying President-elect Trump full control of Congress.
Republican and Democratic operatives alike concede that while Democrats still have a technical shot at picking up the House, the GOP has the inside track and could even ultimately grow their five-seat majority. Asked to describe the mood of the caucus, one House Democrat told Axios, "Shock, sadness, anger, frustration, disappointment."

The Republicans only need 9 more.
Don’t worry. The GOP will do what they did the last time they had control -
Lots of hearings with no action.
Wring their hands that they can’t pass legislation with “thin majorities”
Talk conservative while passing the Dem agenda.
Look for more fire alarms to be pulled. The Democrat Party only accepts its own majorities.
Lots of shenanigans going on.
How long till the next plandemic? The next wave of rioting?
Maybe they’ll succeed in starting a nuclear war. There are at least two places it could happen.
Corrected headline, Democrats see hopes of cheating the house slipping away, find no way to hide the steal.
I’ve been following the Hill. They have 213 for the GOP right now

We need uniform election laws for national races. If those are in place the Democrats would be relegated to being a West Coast/New England-Mid-Atlantic political party.
Deeeeeeeply…..
The lefties love that word.
Suck it up, lefties.
Think you only need 218 for majority. So they need 8 more right?
Still can’t believe we won so bigly. 8 years with nothing but losses.
They needn't worry - there are plenty of RINOs for them to work with to thwart any goodness to come out of the next two years.
And failing that, they have friendly judges to tie up anything they don't like.
I am not sanguine on our chances of making big legislative changes.
You are right. Schumer and Pelosi will remain in control.
On a presidential year the party that wins the presidential popular vote has a 90% chance of gaining seats in the house.. odds have always been GOP will not only hold the house but gain seats.
GOP at 213; need 5 more ... 80% chance predicted for that.
Leftist tears are so sweet to see
Trump spoke of a secret with Mike Johnson to guarantee control of the House
Asked to describe the mood of the caucus, one House Democrat told Axios, “Shock, sadness, anger, frustration, disappointment.”
