Congressional Republicans reckon with disappointing election results: 'Knives are out,' source says
Republicans need 218 votes to control the House

By Chad Pergram | Fox News

"I THINK we get to 218."

Those were the words of one senior Republican who understands House elections at a granular level. Republicans still believe they will have the majority in the House. But it could be by a razor-thin margin.

"It’s not going to be the majority everyone had hoped," said one member of the House GOP leadership brass to Fox News.

"Maybe we’ll get to 230."

Republicans will try to use that "230" figure as a benchmark. That’s the same number of seats Republicans won in 1994 when they flipped control of the House for the first time in 40 years.

But it’s far from clear if the GOP can get anywhere close to 230 or will instead be mired in the low 220s.

A party needs 218 votes to control the House.

"We will be in the majority," said one Republican. "And that’s nothing to mope about."

Fox News is told that Republicans are trying to figure out what went wrong when expectations were so high. Was there an issue with polling?

As Fox News reported Tuesday, in the wave election of 2010, the bottom fell out for Democrats in the early fall. The bottom never dropped out at all this time.

Also, in 2020, Republicans won nearly every single toss-up race. This time around, several incumbents lost.

The problem?

"[Former President] Donald Trump is killing them with independents," confided one well-placed Republican source with ties to Congress and the former administration.

If only.  Three months from now, every single leadership position in the Senate will be the same.  House leadership will take a step up the ladder.  House leaders will cave and give Dems more committee seats than they were given.  And Ronna McDaniel and company will still be making hefty six-figure salaries at the RNC.

People pay for results and thus far the republicans have delivered no results other than allowing the socialists to run over them.
IF they won't fight for you then why vote for them..

I hear you, but at this point in time, we have two parties to select from. Conservative candidates have dwindled over time.

Exactly @Bigun .... I voted this time but none of the candidates really moved me other than a chance to throw the rats out... which did not happen...

Election fraud, democrats threw A fit demanding it never happened, and the nation became mired in sea to shining sea amnesia.  Enjoy the innocent denials, it comes with a horrific price.  You WILL pay.

Offering the voters nothing comes with a horrific price.

Democrats have been screwing with our elections since Geo Bush the second was in office.  They cried there was voter fraud in Florida, they ignored that the voter fraud was in democrat districts. Even that far back they were confident that voters were that dumb and that easily deceived at election times.  Democrats have been hot for their 'rights' to commit voter fraud ever since.

Accommodating them has only made them worse over time.  Did anybody notice how fully cognizant Joe was when he gloated over the election victories?  Not even a slight trace of dementia, amazing how easily he exposes useful fools for their easy to spot usefulness.

Election reform is going to be a state by state project, and that's going to take the GOP being in power there to do something.

It also means they are going to have to have the cajones and will to do something. In all these problematic swing states the GOP has been in power in all of them within the last 20 years - and have done nothing.

By your 'magic' thinking Free vulcan, that leaves only the Democrats to save us.  I can get that from the worst democrats, and even some clearly phony RINOs wandering around here.  Old news from other lock steppers assertions, doncha know?
