Republicans projected to secure House majority | Elections 2022

Republicans will hold a majority in the U.S. House following the midterm elections, according to projections by Decision Desk HQ. The result comes a week after the polls closed, due in part to the election laws in states with the tightest races.

The result that clinched the projection for the GOP was California’s third district. As of 6 p.m. ET, Republicans are projected to hold at least 218 seats, which is the minimum for a majority.

Republicans needed to gain six House seats to secure a majority to take legislative power away from Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and Democrats, and deliver a potential blow to President Joe Biden’s agenda.

THANK GOD! Bye, bye Nancy! Yay! I’ll pray for you like you prayed for Trump!

At the rate they’re moving California won’t be declaring the winners of their remaining house rates until Christmas. How ridiculous is that ?

[rustyrichmond]

Getting rid of Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the house is a victory in itself. Now maybe she can keep an eye on Paul and he won't get in so much trouble.

If this is the case the next two year would just be two parties countering each other basically it a war without fighting

Since so many people are doing mail in voting, I think the mail in ballots should have to be in a week before the election. That way they can be counted before the election and people will know who won after election night. They could be mailed out earlier and given the same amount of time to be returned.

Everywhere else shows Dems at 205 and Reps at 216 so I don’t get where your numbers come from

[DavidBrown-osxg]

Big new! The house in Republican hands and Senate in favor of Democrats. Both only have a slim majority. These next 2 years will be interesting.
