8. It's critical for a Democratic majority to be seated in the House when 1/6 rolls around.

Taking back the House is critical to preventing any MAGA quasi-legal political BS shenanigans that could prevent any candidate from winning 270 electoral votes out right. That would likely lead to the R-controlled House using arcane Constitutional rules to ultimately hand the White House back to Trump, regardless of the popular vote.

The Senate is also critical, of course, but the importance of the House races cannot be overstated, IMO.
