The only way I can see at this point in time the Democrats keeping control of the house is if Trump announces his run for the presidency prior to the midterm. That would benefit the Democrats from an independent voter’s point of view. But even with that, I doubt it would be enough to retain the house in Democratic hands. The numbers just aren’t with the Dems in the house, not like they are in the senate and governors. Also remember the Democrats are at a disadvantage of having about twice as many retirements and house dems running for higher office than the GOP.

An interesting article on Alaska

There were approximately 10,000 voters who didn’t make a second choice. Interesting in that in round 1 112,701 voted Republican, but only 85, 987 did so in round 2. Which simply means that many Begich voters just didn’t want Palin neither. Alaska’s two Republicans senators called and congratulated Peltola on her win. It seems neither of them wanted Palin either.

Round 1
Begich, Nick 53,756 28.52%
Palin, Sarah 58,945 31.28%
Peltola, Mary S. 75,761 40.20%

Round 2

Palin, Sarah 85,987 48.53%
Peltola, Mary S. 91,206 51.47%

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
