According to CNN, the House elections are final. 222 Republicans vs 213 Democrats. The exact reversal of the previous house when it was 222 Democrats to 213 Republicans. That’s a net gain of 9 seats for the GOP. Again, making Greger the one who came the closest when he predicted 11 seat gain for the GOP.
The question is does CNN have their numbers right? CNN has the Republicans flipping or gaining 19 previously held Democratic seats while the Democrats gained or flipped, switched 6 previously held Republican seats. That’s a net gain of 13 for the Republicans. 213 previously held Republican seats plus 13 net gain, (19-6) equals 226 not 222. Something to contemplate when the numbers don’t add up.
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.
