the 214 number was from a DU post today.

meanwhile. in Wiki

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_United_States_representatives

Texas 18: Sylvester Turner (D) died on March 5, 2025.[2] The special election was held on November 4, 2025. As no candidate won a majority, a run-off election was held on January 31, 2026, which Christian Menefee won.[3]

New Jersey 11: Mikie Sherrill (D) resigned on November 20, 2025, following her election as Governor of New Jersey.[4] The special election will be held on April 16, 2026.

Georgia 14: Marjorie Taylor Greene (R) resigned on January 5, 2026.[5] The special election will be held on March 10, 2026.

California 1: Doug LaMalfa (R) died on January 6, 2026.[6] The special election will be held on August 4, 2026.

So -- TEXAS is a win. I call it 218-214.

So Newsom is doing what R governors do all the time - hold the election as late as he possibly can.

Thanks
Hope they find Epstein related pics, video or email for five of them and they are forced out. Of course they could just croak and make it simple. 😀
