Many are focusing on the presidential race, but a glimpse at what’s going on with the House of Representatives should give Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats a moment of pause:
This is quite something — as we are looking at the Presidential and Senate races. Think back to @SpeakerPelosi ‘s news conferences with her predictions about the election. https://t.co/qdN543VuFl

This thread lays out just how close the Democrats are to losing the House:
416 House races appear decided
Democrats 212
Republicans 204 (+10)19 Seats remain, GOP lead in 10
To win 218 (and House majority), GOP would need to win all the districts they are leading in, plus:
CA-25
GA-07
PA-17
UT-04— Adrian Gray (@adrian_gray) November 5, 2020
All together, GOP is behind 16k votes in those four districts
— Adrian Gray (@adrian_gray) November 5, 2020
The problem that GOP has, a number of the CD's they currently lead in (ie, NY-03, NJ-02) are likely to break away from them.
— Adrian Gray (@adrian_gray) November 5, 2020
Any path for GOP to 218 would likely have to include sweeping those four and adding NV-03, NV-04
— Adrian Gray (@adrian_gray) November 5, 2020
Any path to GOP House is also not at all likely. It looks like they will end up with 209-214 seats.
(The latter resulting in smallest House majority since New Deal).— Adrian Gray (@adrian_gray) November 5, 2020

Wow, that’s something. And it’s no wonder Biden tried to put some last-minute distance between himself and the lefty dream agenda in his own party:

And realities like this are why Dems and their supporters don’t feel like they can spike the ball.

Hmm…
Over/under on whether Nancy Pelosi keeps the speakership?

Newt Gingrich got the boot for less…
