High on Trump farts Kevin McCarthy says Republicans could flip 60 seats next year

Republicans took a victory lap Wednesday following Republican Glenn Youngkin's stunning win in the Virginia governor's race, with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) predicting his party could flip more than 60 House seats in next year's midterm elections.

"If you're a Democrat and President Biden won your seat by 16 points, you're in a competitive race next year. You are no longer safe," McCarthy told reporters while flanked by his leadership team and Virginia Republicans.

"It'll be more than 70 [Democratic seats] that will be competitive. There's many that are going to lose their races based upon walking off a cliff from [Speaker] Nancy Pelosi [D-Calif.] pushing them," he continued. "She may not care if she lose. She lost 63 the last time she was Speaker moving policy that the country didn't care for.

"Many believe she won't stay around" in Congress, McCarthy asserted. Speaking to Democrats, he added, "So she's not going to be there to defend you."

Gqp states doing the same, I doubt 60 is accurate, but I don’t see how we can hold the house unless we pass a voting rights bill that stops this.

We have to have some voter protections, they will not stop cheating and lying!
