While we should still hold out hope to get to 218 we should be realistic.

What we should be looking to do (and I am sure this has occurred to a master tactician like Nancy Pelosi) is to start having quiet conversations with some of the non-MAGA members of the republican party to cross the aisle. Republicans who were reelected in swing districts or who flipped seats in New York immediately start out as vulnerable. People in those districts aren't gonna wanna see two years of investigations into Hunter Biden. And they would be completely turned off if they start an impeachment process. Which is what Kevin McCarthy is going to have to promise the freedom caucus.

We can then do some horse trading with them. Such as an increase in the minimum wage for a tax cut for small businesses. Also, they might be amenable to closing tax loopholes that benefit the wealthy in exchange for portion of the new tax revenue raised going towards deficit reduction.

Could be the beginning of a coalition majority in the House.

The closer Dems get to 217, the more likely it becomes.
