CNN now has it 219-212 Republican/Democrat in the house with 4 races remaining. AK -1, CA-3,13 and 22. The Republican holds the lead in all the CA races while Alaska will go to a second round in the rank voting system AK has now installed since no candidate received the 50% plus one vote.
The GOP may control the house, but they’re far from unified. All they can do is stop Biden’s legislative agenda. But Biden can govern by Executive Order as Obama did his last six years. Obama bypassed congress in quite a lot of his agenda. Although some were eventually ruled unconstitutional. Most weren’t.
But some of CNN numbers still bug me. CNN has the Democrats flipping 6 Republican seats while the Republicans flipped 18 democratic seats. Being the Democrats held a 222-213 advantage pre-midterm in the house. The Republicans have a 12-seat net gain if one goes by the flipped seats CNN is reporting which should give the Republicans a 225-210 advantage which if CNN numbers are correct is impossible with just 4 races left. Of course, this is a numbers guy problem.
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.
