More House Seats Shift Towards Democrats
October 23, 2018 at 8:00 am EDT By Taegan Goddard


Cook Political Report: “Today, we’re changing ratings in ten districts, including eight where Democrats’ position has improved. Democrats now have a clear advantage in 17 GOP-held seats and Republicans have an advantage in two Democratic-held seats. If the 30 Toss Ups were to break evenly between the parties (15 seats apiece), Democrats would score a net gain of 29 seats, six more than the 23 they need to retake the majority.”

“We continue to believe anywhere from a 20 to 40 seat Democratic gain is possible, but right now the likeliest outcome is a Democratic gain of between 25 and 35 seats.

That is only 2 more than needed. Republicans will fight close races and put pressure on conservadems to switch.

We better fucking hope it is not only 25 seats!
