McCarthy helped swing several seats in California, enough to make the difference.

Of course Trump did what Trump does, too.

We’ll know pretty soon if we have a good one or got hoodwinked again.

ABSENT:

Four lawmakers so far are missing—three Democrats and one Republican. Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R., Wis.) is the absent Republican; he has previously indicated that he would be in Israel. The missing Democrats are Reps. Lou Correa (D., Calif.), Brendan Boyle (D., Pa.) and Vicente Gonzalez (D., Texas

Jeffries speaking now. Had to turn it off. Like watching Al Pacino as Satan explain his side of history in Devil’s Advocate.
