Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville said he would rather see Republicans keep control of the House by five seats than watch Democrats win the chamber by the same margin, warning that a “nightmare” razor-thin majority would leave party leaders “hostage to the DSA.”
He’s just fear mongering anyway…
as it stands now there is about a 1-in-4 to 1-in-3 chance the majority is thin enough that DSA is the actual tipping faction. Projections have the Dems winning 11-17 over the 218 line.
As always it’s more complicated then indicated. Nuances about agendas, caucusing, defection, rules, and more.
