Current leads breakdown is 214 to 221 with 12 of those still uncalled. Could go either way and GOP has a clear advantage, bit it's not over yet.

We need to hold that. It wouldn't be a gain, and we have lost seats that still need to be made up before we can gain the ones needed.

They have flipped more, so we are in negative territory by several seats last I heard.

We're probably going to end up with around 210, and they'll be at 225.

The Democrats are going to lose ground in the House. Mr. Jeffries is not going to be speaker.

They're just too highly visible public figures, and aren't going to abandon their fellow candidates while there are votes to be counted.

I guarantee you won't hear them say a negative word until the repubs reach 218, and it becomes impossible, which will likely be by tomorrow.
