Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., reportedly lamented “the loss of the House majority,” despite Democrats not losing their majority in the House, Fox News reports.

“So, you know, of course, the loss of the House majority is just extraordinarily upsetting to all of us,” Ocasio-Cortez said in a virtual town hall last Thursday, according to Fox. “It’s upsetting to all of us who are invested in having a Democratic majority so that we can expand health care, so that we can raise wages, so that we can protect working people."

Although some races have yet to be called, Democrats did manage to hold onto their majority by at least one seat, with 219 to Republicans’ 203, as of Monday afternoon.

Democrats held a 35-seat majority in the House before the 2020 election; but after a smattering of wins by several down-ballot Republicans who flipped congressional seats, the Democrats’ majority will shrink by at least seven seats, making it one of the slimmest margins in decades.

That number could grow as some House races have not yet been called.

Democrats control at least 219 seats, one more than the 218 needed to keep the majority in the House.
