‘This is quite something’: Update on House races should make Pelosi and the Dems VERY nervous

Posted at 2:39 pm on November 05, 2020 by Doug P.

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

All together, GOP is behind 16k votes in those four districts

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.

Any path for GOP to 218 would likely have to include sweeping those four and adding NV-03, NV-04

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).

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…

One of the people getting blamed for Dem losses in the House is Robby Mook, Hillary’s campaign manager
