With respect to the “Red Wave” hitting the House elections, here is a reference point from the 2010 midterm election. Going in, the (R)’s held 179 seats. After the wave, they gained 63 seats to push the total to 242. Now, in 2022, the (R)’s hold 212 seats - a full 33 seats above the 2010 baseline.  If the (R)’s gain 30 seats through this cycle, they will match the result of 2010.
