It turns out to be wishful numbers. The latest count according to an article is 229-206. Too bad.
Thank you. There are some disappointments from the elections, but overall, we remain in a strong position.
The House under GOP control 2016-2018 was a disgrace.
Due in large part to the incompetence of RINO Ryan.
