Now that counting has lastly been accomplished in lawless California, the place elections now not happen, a mad sprint of poll harvesting and unlawful voters determines elections within the Golden State at this time.
Republicans misplaced their last seat when Derek Tran ousted Michelle Steel after three weeks of counting and amassing suspect ballots in Orange County. Tran was declared the winner the day earlier than Thanksgiving.
Leftist CNN’s Harry Enten, a senior knowledge analyst, sounded the alarm on the traditionally slim GOP majority, mentioning that if present projections maintain, the Republican benefit may very well be the smallest in practically a century.
Because it stands, Republicans are projected to carry simply 220 seats in comparison with the Democrats’ 215. This razor-thin margin leaves little room for error, notably as President Trump has introduced nominations for 3 key Republican members—Elise Stefanik, Matt Gaetz, and Mike Waltz—to affix his administration.
With their departure, the GOP majority would shrink to a mere 217 seats. Which means Republicans will maintain solely a two-seat benefit when Congress convenes in January.
They can not afford to lose ONE VOTE to Democrats!
Harry Enten: My goodness gracious. Sure, the Republicans are going to manage the Home of Representatives. But when all the present outcomes maintain up, we’re taking a look at a record-small majority after the Novembers within the final 90 years.
You must go all the best way again to the Herbert Hoover administration to search out a good smaller majority after the November elections.
We’re speaking concerning the Republicans with 220 seats and the Democrats with 215 if the present Home outcomes maintain. Take into account that this may drop decrease if Stefanik, Waltz, or others like Matt Gaetz depart Congress.
CNN reporter: Discuss to me. That is the best-case state of affairs for Republicans, no less than for the following few weeks or months. The place might it go?
Harry Enten: The place might it go? It might shrink even additional. Let’s say Gaetz, Stefanik, and Waltz resigned. We may very well be taking a look at—get this—Republicans at 217, the Democrats at 215, and I went all the best way again. Look, that is loopy. That is loopy, proper? As a result of all it means is Democrats at 215 plus one GOP seat might tank the whole factor as a result of then each side can be at 216 seats, John…
…You may need seen in my final reply, I used to be so excited I practically received forward of myself. How traditionally unprecedented it’s. I like historical past. Generally only one majority member might sink a invoice by voting with the minority within the final 100 years plus. This, presumably 2025, with the seemingly resignations from the Home. And that’s it. It’s actually the one time within the final 100 years, assuming, after all, all members vote.
So the underside line is, look, the outcomes from the November elections weren’t precisely good for Democrats, however it is a shining mild for them. They actually did maintain the Republican majority down. And given the seemingly resignations which are coming, that Home of Representatives for the Republicans—that Home majority—goes to be document small.
For this reason dishonest issues. For this reason Republicans should proceed to battle election fraud. This may very well be disastrous for the Trump agenda.
Through Citizen Free Press and CNN:
REPUBLICANS HAVE SMALLEST HOUSE MAJORITY IN 90 YEARS
1) 220-215 will shortly be 217-215 with gaetz, stefanik, waltz.
2) In the event that they lose 1 vote on any invoice, it’s 216-216 and the invoice dies.pic.twitter.com/iIzHqQpNIX
