The Senate, where the GOP holds 53 seats, remains a toss-up, the conservative outlet says

For the first time this year, Fox News is projecting that Democrats will win control of the House of Representatives in November’s midterm elections.

In its latest power rankings Tuesday, the conservative outlet forecast that Democrats are favored to capture 219 seats — one more than the 218 needed for a majority. Republicans were favored in 198 races, while 18 contests remained toss-ups.

“The House is likely out of reach for the GOP this year,” according to the Fox News analysis. “The Democratic Party has enjoyed a lead in the House all year. Now, as another 20 races shift leftward, this forecast sees the Democrats taking control.”

    Any word on who the two conservative Democrats who vote with the Republicans to ensure that they can’t do anything meaningful, or at least symbolic, with the majority will be?

      Fetterman is an easy first pick.

      I’ve got my eye on John Hickenlooper and Mark Warner, as they have both been eager to piss in their party’s punch bowl before.

      Gillibrand is another to look out for, as she’s been deep into crypto and AI. If Charles Booker can pull out an upset in Kentucky, he’s going to be a friend of fossil fuels and the military. Then there’s the old stand by - Schumer, Durbin, and Schiff - who have been forcing the country to eat shit for decades.

      The graphic has 18 toss up (not very clearly marked) so I’d imagine the margin would be at least slightly larger.
