GOP sees path to House majority in 2022
By Juliegrace Brufke - 11/18/20 11:52 AM EST

Republicans returned to the Capitol this week with a swing in their step after they defied expectations and gained House seats on Election Day, putting a GOP majority within their grasp for 2022.

GOP lawmakers rewarded House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) and other top Republicans on Tuesday by reelecting a leadership team that benefited from ticket-splitting voters who turned President Trump out of office but backed Republican candidates in the House and Senate.

It was a stamp of approval for divided government and gave Republicans a sense of momentum in their goal to recapture the lower chamber two years from now in the midterms, when the party that controls the White House historically loses seats in Congress.


The GOP has flipped nearly a dozen seats with a handful of Republican candidates leading in uncalled races. And while Republicans will fall short of the 17 seats needed to win back the House this cycle, Democrats will be holding the most razor-thin majority since World War II.

“We shocked a lot of people by gaining so many seats in swing districts this cycle, but we have more work to do,” House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), who stumped for candidates across the country, told The Hill.

“And we've already heard from some great candidates in places where we just came up short.”

Good news indeed!...but the House Dems still have 2 years to pass everything they want...especially if we lose the Senate.

When Pelosi passes her version of 'voter reform', which includes mail in voting in perpetuity, they'll have a helluva lot longer than two years.

The closest the R will ever have to a majority in the HOUSE will be this Jan 1,2021. Their will never be another fair election in this country if this fraudulent election is allowed to stand. The HOUSE will target certain seats like CA and other  where some upsets happen for the R, make mail in ballots and just like that get 20-25 more D seats. The Senate will never have a R majority again either manufactured or by fraud with DC and PR becoming states that are kept alive by Federal dollars ( our money). Same with the PRESIDENCY never will you have any one but a D for POTUS in our lifetimes. That is real world people if this election is allowed to stand.

Trump lost re-election by some 6 million votes because of his uncanny
ability to make enemies, exhausting plain people. This election is O-V-E-R!
Republicans may yet gain the House and will control the Senate by 4 votes.
Time to move on and get real!!!

Good headline; not buying the hype.  Two years of the current House imposing their agenda could very well mean that their won't be another GOP seated ever .... especially since the Senate is still up for grabs.

It's really time to face reality IMHO.  Our only hope at this point is if we retain the Senate majority -- the flicker of hope that Trump will be re-elected is quickly dwindling.  To go before the SCOTUS the evidence of fraud and corruption has to be overwhelming and blatantly evident, otherwise, the case won't even make it to SCOTUS.

GOP sees path to House majority in 2022

The GOP likely won a House majority in 2020.  But if they aren't willing to fight for it now, they certainly aren't going to win it in 2022.  Once the Dems expand their wildly successful 2020 strategy, I see the Republicans losing over 60 seats in 2022.

@Absalom

No,he lost because of Prima Donna fools who put style above substance because they are too emotionally and intellectually shallow to understand what is happening.

Know anybody like that,Bubba?

Care to explain how your drivel can be true when the President has so far received 11,000,000 more votes in 2020 than 2016?  Why don't you give the ancients a call and get back to me.

Title:
"GOP sees path to House majority in 2022"

It might be possible. The actual number of seats that need to be gained isn't high.

But...
That was doable in an earlier time. Think 1994.
We now live in a changed country, as the November 3rd election just proved (right before our lyin' eyes).

That is to say...
The underground "election apparatus" that the democrat-communists constructed and fine-tuned to steal the presidential election will by 2022 have been further refined and will then be "aimed at" specific Congressional contests "in need of controlling" (for lack of a better term).

These "target seats" are mostly in purple districts that can "go either way", a reality that actually will make them easier to steal.
Some of them might be in states where "election reform" has permanently distorted the electoral environment towards the democrat-communist side.

So...
It could be a much tougher proposition than in years past.
I think we're going to see a preview of how tough it might become on January 5th down in Georgia.

Lavrentiy Beria, Stalin's secret police chief:
“Show me the man and I’ll show you the crime”

Fishrrman (at the controls of the democrat-communist election apparatus):
"Show me the election, and I'll show you the winner"

I’ve heard this all before.

[skeeter]

I’ve heard this all before.

Maybe the rats won't abolish the filibuster, add DC and Puerto Rico to the union and put five additional justices on SCOTUS. Not to mention make mail-in balloting the norm from now on.

But when they say they want to turn the US into a single party state like California I think it'd be prudent to take them seriously.

You make sooooo............much sense, it's ........well, supernatural, by gum!!!
Not only did Trump the Buffoon, garner 11 million more votes now versus 2016;
he got more votes than any other candidate since 1789, excepting Hilarity & Biden.
In fact he got more votes than any previous Prime Minister or Premier in history.
Beyond amazing and historians better call attention to this!!!!!!!!!!!
On another note; as the next 4 years are gonna be way beyond Purgatory for 
Trumpers, consider ingesting a daily dose of reality which is now available in pill form.

Oh it’ll be beyond purgatory for more than just Trumpers. I suspect most freedom loving tax paying, God fearing Americans will be pretty miserable in short order.

But at least you’re having a good time.

--------------------------------------
Republican candidates are ahead in some 15 still contested 2020 House Elections
and  can certainly come very close to a majority; but we shall see.
As for 2022, the recent census will re-apportion the House, further strengthening
the likelihood that Republicans will gain a majority.
What in tarnation are you talking about???????

Yes... why are you?   I've wondered that myself.   I just attributed it to your seemingly natural penchant for making stupid comments that closely align with leftist stupidity.   It's a match.
