That list should be “House seats”

And I’d say that it’s pretty close. All else being equal we’ll lose 6-10 seats net.

But “all else” doesn’t have to stay at the current default

That 6-10 estimate is really “if everyone voted like they did in 2020”. IOW - just the reapportionment and redistricting.

Add the “first midterm of a new president” factor and it will be quite a challenge to retain the House. We need to make solid progress on the pandemic, Afghanistan, and economy.
