the headaches begin // (Scott Johnson).
Decision Desk HQ, an outlet, has called two races to bring the GOP total to the House of Representatives. Who is Decision DeskHQ and why are they calling these races.
RedState’s Mr. RedState’s Mr. The GOP would have a majority of 218 members in the House with Kiley’s victory. Garcia’s would increase the majority to 219.
DDHQ is the only one answering calls at this time. The AP is still stuck at 217. Facts are better that dreams. I try to live by the reality principle. In Kiley’s race, only 56 percent have been counted. Garcia’s race has accounted for 72 percent of votes, and Garcia’s opponent seems to believe she has lost.
John McCormack uses my approach, the conservative approach, to look at the outstanding races this post at NRO’s Corner. McCormack concludes by accounting for the above races and a few other races (links omitted).
Republicans are likely to hold at most 220 seats. “Right now, Republicans are on track to win 221 seat if the current trends continue, but many of these races remain close that they could easily move the other way,” Nate Cohn reports for the New York Times. The Democrats now hold a majority of 222 seats, the narrowest number since 2000 when Republicans held 221 seats.
The first headache is the uncertainty regarding the outcome of 2022’s election, a week after what was once called election day. The narrow majority of Republicans that would be required to work in the next Congress will cause more headaches.
