If the house web site is up to date, Ken Buck leaving would make it:
  • Republicans: 218
  • Democrats 213

If they are going to have a special election, they have to have it on or before August 7th per Colorado law. Otherwise it remains vacant until the general election.

Not necessarily out of money. Its just that all of that money is going to E Jean Carroll in the near future.

Yeah the senate map is unfavorable for dems this year. I would love to be surprised and I will vote (Andy Kim NJ, ftw) but the cards are mildly stacked. House, I think enough ruckus has been had that the dems should be able to pick up seats.

If they did, it might be a blessing in disguise, as I imagine they would taking away Republican votes.

Or, am I mistaken?

* Republicans: 218

Democrats should wait until a few House Republicans are absent and put forth a motion to vacate the chair, then install Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker and start passing bills until the missing Republicans are able to get back in town.

Rats fleeing a sinking ship. Trump has officially taken over the party and everyone with sense is leaving. Even if Trump wins in November with the way things are going the GOP is going to lose big time in both the house and Senate.

I truly don't see Brown winning in Ohio again. I hope I'm wrong, as he's a legitimately great Senator, but I can see DeWine winning that seat.

Tester feels like a loss in Montana too. It's a real uphill battle.

The rare kind who openly aired grievances about how ridiculous his party has been under Johnson, which makes it no mystery as to why he didn't discuss his departure with Johnson.

Still a massive sack of shit, though, like every single other Republican is at minimum.

He was a Freedom caucus Republican. So he was part of the same group as the likes of Matt Geatz and MTG. Just for the last year he started to buck the trend. Pun intended.
