We Have Not Lost The House Just Yet

[gab13by13]

I have a new respect for Kornacki. Other than the gerrymandered districts in Fla. and Tenn. Dems are holding their own.

Bring it home Dems.

Boebert is going down.

[Claustrum]

1. We kinda did already.

They flipped 5 seats so far. We need to start flipping some seat (many chances like NY22, etc) to counter those 5 gains.

[gab13by13]

4. Boebert.

[Claustrum]

5. I know. I mentioned we have many opportunities.

But until some of those races are actually called, we are already down 5 which is what republicans needed to flip the House.

[gab13by13]

6. I am saying

It's not over until the fat lady sings. Who would have thought we are still fighting for the House at 11PM?

[Claustrum]

8. Lets be honest, the president party losing 5 house seat in the first midterm is

a super good day for the president party. Some of the talking heads and republicans were saying they are going to win 40-60 seats. They are nowhere near that. We kept many of the seats they were going after and thought they would win. But since we only had a 9 seats advantage coming in, it's extremely hard for us to keep the House.

[ColinC]

25. We have flipped at least close to that many already.

And will flip more as the west reports. Republicans are still long ways from getting what they need for control.

[Claustrum]

27. Yeah. We flipped many since I posted it.

My comment was correct at the time it was posted.

[ColinC]

28. Ah

It’s looking better and better!

Don’t get me started on the senate, either! It seems like we are still in the game in Wisconsin and Fettrman is close to winning PA. If this is happens, then the runoff in Georgia will decide not the 50th or 51st but the 52nd! (Assuming Nevada goes well)

[Freddie]

2. Looks like Susan Wild (PA 07) will be re-elected

The ads against her were truly ugly.
Many of the PA House races are looking good.

[GoCubsGo]

3. Outside of Florida, it looks like all the redistricting is going to be pretty much a wash.

Looking like the Dems could make up for FL losses in NC. Fingers crossed...

[gab13by13]

7. What Tennessee did was flat out wrong.

It took a solid democratic district in Nashville and stretched it out to rural Tennessee where a democrat couldn't win.

[Claustrum]

9. We also lost our redistrict case in NY which would have flipped a few seats to us.

Sadly, NY11 went from possible pickup to already called for republican.

10. +1,

[wnylib]

16. ??

[ananda]

13. That's what Tom pDelay did to my district.

It really sucks!

[GoCubsGo]

15. That goes on all over the place.

South Carolina could have at least one, if not two more Democratic districts, if not for that kind of gerrymandering, believe it or not. And, then there's Floriduh...

[yellowdogintexas]

32. that is the first Republican to represent Nashville in Congress

for at least 100 years.

what they did to the 5th district is despicable

[gab13by13]

11. Kornacki just said

there are 4 seats in California that Dems can flip. We need to hold seats in New York.

We can fucking do this.

[DemocraticPatriot]

12. Got a link on Boebert?

I'd love to see it happen...

[OnlinePoker]

17. Currently losing by 9000 votes

Only 77% counted, though.

19. Nice, thanks. nt

18. Here it is.

14. My prediction is spot on to this point

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=17312668

Had Senate at 50/50 or 51/49 Blue

House too close to call but winner is 5 seats, or less

[SleeplessinSoCal]

20. Katie Porter is in a tough district.

She's running against GQP's favorite type of person - a crook.

Saw her yesterday with the Pod Save America guys...

[gab13by13]

22. Last I saw, she was leading.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

24. I'd expected it to take a week again.

[markodochartaigh]

31. Katie Porter is incredible

The US has generated more wealth and innovation than any polity in human history. Most of our population carries around the equivalent of The Library of Congress in our pockets. All of our representatives should be like Katie Porter.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

33. She is a trail blazing Congressperson.

Seeing her winning tonight, as well as our local candidates here in Costa Mesa, is just awe inspiring. We'd been such a Republucan hub for decades. Can't envision the OC GOP reassessing their strategy. All they do is wait for costs to go up, do nothing and wait for voters to put them in charge. It's not working here tonight - so far.

Newsom isn't winning by much. But he didn't campaign for himself at all.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

34. uh oh...

[W_HAMILTON]

35. I'm not worried.

Most of the vote still outstanding is expected to be Democratic.

Even the NYT website is projecting her to win, where their forecast has been very bearish on most Democrats' chances tonight right up until they are declared a winner: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/11/08/us/elections/results-california-us-house-district-47.html

[SleeplessinSoCal]

36. Glad to read this.

Still. I don't trust our neighbors.

[iluvtennis]

21. Yes, indeed we can still hold the house!! n/t

[gab13by13]

23. Hey Nate Silver, any adjustments?

It will be a very close call to keep the House, going to bed with positive vibes.

[elleng]

29. Delete 'just yet,' please, and add me but delete 'new:'

'I have a new respect for Kornacki.'

[blue-wave]

30. They say it might be a few days

before we know, but I have my fingers and toes crossed!!

Let's say it again!! Bring it home Dems!!

[SleeplessinSoCal]

37. Positive update on Katie Porter.

It tightened early yesterday and has since grown incrementally. In the past 6 years these numbers tend to grow for the person ahead day by day. Good sign for District 47.

[SleeplessinSoCal]

38. and this video from her son...
