Dems head toward House control, but lose incumbents to GOP

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats drove Wednesday toward extending their control of the House for two more years but with a potentially shrunken majority as they lost at least six incumbents and failed to oust any Republican lawmakers in initial returns.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Democrats pushed to seal control of the House for two more years Tuesday as they banked on their health care focus, dominant fundraising and broad suburban indignation with President Donald Trump to make their majority in the chamber even larger.

Republicans were hoping to oust some of the 29 Democrats in districts Trump won in 2016, mostly freshmen, in places like Iowa, Oklahoma City, Salt Lake City, rural New Mexico, upstate New York and Virginia.

But nearly all Democratic incumbents in potentially vulnerable districts were outspending their GOP challengers, often by vast margins. Democrats were also aiming millions at Republican-held seats from areas around Atlanta, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston and Indianapolis, and even GOP strongholds like Little Rock, Arkansas, western Colorado and Alaska.

Didn't go so well for House Democrats. Maybe this will send Pelosi a message to get off her butt and try to work out a deal.

Let's see, the entire squad got reelected. Imagine that.

Predicting the other party will win big during midterms is not a huge prediction. happened in 06, 10, 14 and 18.

Not sure about that far back. 02 was an anomaly that republicans won one because of 9-11.

Republicans picked up some House seats without flipping the chamber. We picked up the presidency.

That's a very good trade for us.
