Final House Tally: GOP 220 - 215 DEM

www.newsweek.com

GOP House majority may drop below 218 seats. Here's what that means

The GOP already has a razor-thin majority in the lower chamber and could lose three more next month.

One GOPPER, Matt Gaetz, already resigned. Trump has pegged two other GOPPERs, Elise Stefanik as Ambassador to the U.N. and Mike Waltz as National Security Advisor.

This narrows the GOP Majority even more, at least until new GOPPERs replace the ones on their way out.

I enjoyed the GOP chaos surrounding the selection of a Speaker during the 2022 - 2024 term.

We know that the seats vacated have been solid red seats, but I wouldn't just give them to the Rube-publicans. The orange child is already alienating groups that voted for him. D's will be motivated to turn out.
 
It's really strange to me that apparently Trump is choosing to decrease his already narrow house majority (the lowest for a new president in decades) even further, almost seems deliberate. Trumps handlers (Bannon, Miller, etc) surely want to have some of their shit policies enacted into law and yet...here we were. It's almost as if these people want to lose the house, and then blame the Democrats for Trumps inability to govern effectively? Hell, Trump barely did anything in 2017-2018 outside of judges and tax cuts with the GOP having 241 house seats, what the hell can he do outside of executive orders with less than 218? lol.

Do you think Marxists will be able to wreak havoc and cripple the Trump presidency in the short term?

The Marxists will literally control none of the facets of the elected federal government in 2025 - talk about abysmal failure 😄😄😄😄😄

And that is another lie.

I attack stupid. Whatever party that is.

Note my past comments about DEMOCRAT run California for example.

You are what you post.

When one consistently posts Collectivist Authoritarian they can't be upset when others don't buy their claims to be Libertarian-right...
 
I will be curious to see what this Republican majority can actually pass that gets signed by POTUS.

And I have posted things critical of both parties.

I can't decide whether this is intentional ignorance, simple ignorance or a blatant lie.
