...but a writeup that says "If the Democrats don't win seats like PA-07 and WV-02, there is no chance they will win back the House" is completely out of touch. First, we WON'T win back the House, until redistricting occurs in 2022. Second, while we have an opportunity to lower the Republicans' margin, it won't be in districts like WV-2; this is a LIKELY/SAFE Republican seat. Feel good that you "struck a blow" for progressives everywhere, but it's all symbolic in a District like this.
