So right now the Associated Press (AP) has called 410 of the 435 US House races …. DEMs 214 and 196 REPs.
And of the 25
US House races not called yet, the AP has 7 of them with the DEMs leading and a
whopping 18 of them with the REPs leading. Also, 16 of these 25 uncalled races
are in just two US States ….. 8 in New York and 8 in California, both clearly
left-leaning US States. Further, REPs are leading in 7 of the 8 open California races and also leading in 6 of the 8 open New York
races.
If it ends
up coming out like this, the DEMS would have 221 and the REPs 214. Thus, DEMs would be in control of the US
House by only 4 votes. And several of these
open US House races have the DEMs barely ahead.
The only way
to objectively describe this is a complete trouncing of the DEMs in the US House.
And this
happened in a year where the US President-elect and the US Vice-President-elect
will end up winning by probably more than 5 million votes.
Thus, no down-ballot coattails resulted when they should have.
And the
pundits predicted that the DEMs would be increasing their US House control by a very healthy amount ..... Five Thirty Eight's average DEM seat projection was 239 seats!
I am
progressive, but more importantly I want to win.
I am in
total agreement with Abigail Spanberger where she implied that the far left has
too much influence in the US House.
What is needed is US House Democratic leadership which is much more moderate, which is where the US electorate is, and also a DNC leadership which is much more effective .….. perhaps someone like Stacey Abrams.
