Currently the House of Representative consists of 222 Democrats, 213 Republicans. The GOP needs a net gain of 5 seats to take control of the House. There are 59 competitive, switchable, at risk districts. Currently held by 43 Democrats and 16 Republicans. Safe seats as of 6 Sep, 178 Democratic, 198 Republican. Probable net gain for the Republicans is 15-17 seats. Which would give the GOP control of the house with the majority over the Democrats somewhere between 228-207 to 230-205.
The reason for the project Republican net gain drop from 18-20 down to 15-17 is 3 Democratic tossup seats moved into the lean Democrat column. Although these 3 seats are still considered competitive, switchable and at risk of flipping to the GOP. It means the democrats have a slight advantage in these 3 seats/districts whereas prior they didn’t.
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.
