Officially 213 - 222 with NY22 still in recount (Republican up by 12) BUT even though Iowa 2 had been certified by the state (Republican won), the Democrat loser is contesting the results directly to the House and Nancy Pelosi.
That’s still a shocking result. Four years of blitzkreig and look at what almost happened and they still drink their own bath water.
2022 has to be very very frightening.
Not sure it is so shocking. I think that the election was President Trumps to lose. The election was not so much people voting against the Republic party, but people voting against President Trump.
He really has no one to blame but himself. If he was less acting like “Trump” and more “presidential”, I think he would have won.
So the entire mainstream media for four years, the investigations and impeachment that the democrats ran, the threat to democracy, the implications of Russian agent, Kompromat and influence were all just Background noise and didn’t mean a thing?
@loki oh they did have some effect, but don’t you think that president Trump made enough mistakes that even with all that, he could have won?
In my mind, very few people based their vote (for example) on the impeachment hearing. I don’t think that had much of an effect on the “middle voters”.
For those on the far sides of each party, that just made them stronger to vote either for/against President Trump. Those in the middle, not too much effect.
For example, me. I am probably a little bit on the left side of center, but not too far. For the impeachment thing, I stated that President Trump probably offered something in return for something, but that is always done. I certainly didn’t think it was an impeachment. I’m guessing that a lot of people in the middle thought the same way.

Some effect?
Massive understatement, don't you think?

@jolly I don’t think so.
I don’t believe that your giving that middle 20 or 30 or 40% of the voters enough credit.

Ever talk to everyday people? Not the political junkies that hang around here, or the fringe 20% of either side, but average Americans that pay minimal attention to politics, except until within a month of the election?
Those guys get their info from the MSM and they don't generally fact check anything. A constant barrage of negative, biased reporting has a huge effect.

It’s finally final.
Claudia Tenney won the last undecided congressional race in the country on Friday after a judge ruled the New York Republican defeated incumbent Rep. Anthony Brindisi by a mere 109 votes in a race marred by months of legal challenges. Democrats’ advantage in the House is now 221 to 212.

221 to 212.
233 means 2 vacancies. Letlow's seat (will eventually mean R-213) is one, what's the other one? And I assume this didn't include Wright?
-
Wright news came out after. Plus he’s Ft Worth, one of the few Republican cities left in TX.

I see, there are two seats in LA unfilled. Letlow and Richmond. It will likely put the final tally up one for both.

Letlow's district is hugely Republican. Richmond represents New Orleans, typically very Democrat.
OTOH, Drew Brees is a Republican...Just sayin'...
