27. Your numbers are wrong

Wed Nov 27, 2024, 02:05 PM

Nov 27

The current makeup is (R) 220 & (D) 213 with 2 vacancies

The makeup when the new Congress is seated in January will be (R) 219 & (D) 215 Democrats with 1 vacancy. (Matt Gaetz has already stated he will not take the seat he won and a special election has already been scheduled for it)

This assumes that the Democrats win in CA13 & CA45, the last 2 races not yet official (These both appear to be done deals, though). Also assumes that no results will be changed due to recounts or other reasons. (Highly unlikely any changes happen.)

2 Other Republican House members have been nominated for Cabinet positions. If they are approved, it will take it down to (R) 217 & (D) 215 (at least temporarily until special elections are held).
