Dec 2023

221 Republicans
213 Democrats
1 open seat (Santos)
On Jan 3 2024 When the House comes back, McCarthy will be gone making it

220 Republicans
213 Democrats
2 open seats.

The democrats have a chance to pick up seats he Santos seat but not much chance at the McCarthy seat. Additionally, one Democrat from Buffalo NY and one Republican from Ohio are leaving but neither of their seats are expected to change parties, so, when the dust clears, the realistic hope it that there are
221 Republicans
214 Democrats.
