Republicans have won 219 seats in the US House so far, and these three of six remaining undecided races are their best shot for 222

Except Matt Gaetz is in that 219 and he has just resigned tonight. So 218.

Stefanik is in that 218 and she is taking the UN Ambassador job. When matters. A lot.

Waltz is in that 218 and he is going to be National Security Adviser. When matters. A lot.

The GOP really needs all three seats below just to get back to 221 now, not 222 as before, just one seat better than the current majority. And CA-45 looks more and more iffy to me as the count continues.

Trump is crazy playing chicken with the House majority in this way, and even crazier appointing Gaetz to Attorney General.

Gaetz will not be confirmed.

Trump's disrespect for the House outcome is a terrible beginning to his second term.
