Votes are still being counted in several House races. But the AP has now called another race in New Jersey, projecting Democrat Andy Kim the winner in the suburban Philadelphia 3rd Congressional District over incumbent Republican Tom MacArthur.
That means, more than a week after Election Day, Democrats have increased their House gains to a net of 34 seats — and, when all the vote is counted, they may get to 39.
Make no mistake: That is a very big wave.

I have to believe that this result was a reaction to 2 years of Trump. His odds of getting reelected are looking pretty slim. Sixteen per cent of Republicans say they will not vote for him.
