The full House is up for re-election every two years. There is not "favorable or unfavorable math" in the House.

The Senate has staggered terms, so how many seats are exposed varies.

But when you go preaching and vowing to FORCE a 10 year old to have her father's baby via incest/rape ....

Or when you put bounties on women's heads and uh ......

Or when you laugh and get RID of Roe via your federalist High court ....

Young women, young men Gen x's and Gen z'ers NOTICED that shit, Yo.

How the fall of Roe shattered Republicans’ midterm dreams
Women and young people, furious over losing federal abortion protections, helped Democrats defy expectations.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/nov/11/abortion-midterm-elections-republicans-women-voters

And you have GQP'ers saying that their messaging was bad on Roe which is why there was NO red wave.

HOW in the Sam Hell are you going to properly message forcing a 10 year old to have her own blood father's incest rape baby? What, say "Hey, cut out the middle-woman, save time by forcibly getting your own daughter pregnant, so that your 'young un' will have a sister/mommie combination going on there. Yes, keep it in the family, and we her in the GQP US Taliban party of family values approve of this."

With this gaggle of Hyenas in the House for a quick minute, Dems better tighten up on their rapid response team, because they'll be gas-lighting this shit to high heaven when the GQP US Taliban Party tries to pass bills gutting social security, medicare et al.
