Six days after Election 2026 and the U.S. House is divided Democrats 252 to GOP 160 with 23 races still uncalled and Republicans leading in 12

 And 2 of the 23 will go to a runoff in Louisiana.

If Republicans win the 12 races in which they are leading today they will seat only 172 in January, 48 fewer than in the current House with 220 seats, an outcome worthy of 1948.

Republicans went from 179 seats in the U.S. House in January 2009 to 242 in January 2011, a gain of 63 seats in the 2010 election.

I think the last time Republicans had fewer than 179 seats in the House was after the election of 1948 with just 171 seats. Truman famously defeated Dewey that year 303 electoral college votes to 189, with Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond pulling away 39 in the south.

The average number of seats held by Republicans in the U.S. House in the last ten victories 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2022, and 2024 has been 231, and 198 in the last four defeats in 2006, 2008, 2018, and 2020.

 

  

OMG, those things didn't include moving out of Ohio or getting rid of her electric car, instead she signed up for a new rewards card with a $495 annual fee

Which she is  s e l l i n g  in the story.

ROFLMAO. 

Let's put more women like this with their luxury beliefs in charge of the economy! 

I'm guessing that she just voted for that drunk babe in Ohio, too, not Vivek.

Her household obviously has money to burn. The whole story is TMI.

Honda at capacity in the U.S. plans new plant in Ohio

Ohayō gozaimasu!  

Honda to invest $3 billion in new vehicle assembly plant in Ohio

 ... The facility is expected to be capable of producing traditional vehicles with internal combustion engines, all-electric vehicles and hybrid models, which have been growing in popularity in the U.S.

The plant is expected to increase Honda’s light-duty vehicle capacity to 1.3 million units annually in the U.S. It currently has 12 manufacturing plants in United States, eight of which produce engines or light-duty vehicles for the auto industry. 

... American Honda Motor Co. executive Jennifer Thomas recently emphasized the Japanese automaker’s commitment to the U.S. and need for additional capacity.

“In order to be competitive in this market, you’re going to need to build products here,” Thomas, senior vice president of corporate affairs, said Oct. 27 in Detroit. “We are focused on trying to maximize the existing capacity that we have, but we are at capacity, and so we’re exploring all options.”

... Honda said it has built more than 33 million vehicles and more than 39 million engines in the U.S. since it started auto production in the U.S. in 1982.

The Japanese automaker currently has more than 30,000 employees in the U.S.

Now that he's lost the midterms again, immigration squish Donald Trump again starts talking up immigration amnesty just like early 2019

 

Apart from love of money, tits, and big building projects, Trump loves nothing more than making a deal.

 

... Speaking to correspondent Ross Douthat for Sunday night’s installment of 60 Minutes on CBS News – his first major interview since Tuesday’s crushing defeat for Republicans – Trump said of the crackdown: “I think it was too tough.”

“I think it might be too tough, yeah,” he continued. “And a lot of people would say that it’s great. But a lot of people think it’s too tough.”

... Asked where his approach had backfired, Trump answered: “For getting people out, I get very high marks for getting the bad ones out.

“But I get hurt because we also took people that had good jobs, that created one violation, or breaking of the law, and that was that they came into the country illegally.

“Now, there is a large part of the country that think that they should be put out. And there’s a large part of the country that think that they should be allowed to stay if they’re good people working in a landscaping company, or working in a hotel, or doing something, right? And in some cases, paying taxes.”

Striking a more conciliatory tone than usual, Trump also entertained the idea of working with congressional Democrats on an amnesty for people who have been in the country for a long time without the proper documentation.

“Let the people that are here, and in some cases here for 10 and 15 years, work a deal for them,” the president suggested. “I think that’s something that’s actually doable.” ...
