2022 House Elections

[Proud liberal 80]

Seems like the MSM and even Republicans think it's inevitable that Republicans are going to take back the House in 2022....But if you look at the 2020 election, they won all the toss-up races and some others that were lean Democratic. That tells me that the remaining Democrats are in safer districts and it will be tough for Republicans to win those....So all the toss-ups and leaners that they won in the last election is going to be their ceiling, and the Democrats could potentially win some of those back.

1. 100% agree. I think there's every prospect of increasing the Democratic

Majority in both. Without Trump on the ballot, Covid hopefully solved, Americans back to work, and the GOP in disarray, there's lots of hope

2. Agree! Boebert will not be able to keep her seat. Cawthorn from NC won by a slim margin

And they have serious regrets. Several of the seats we lost were in red areas of CA that went back after the blue wave in ‘18.

If Biden remains highly popular that will really help.

Jamie Harrison new DNC chair has a plan and will be a force to be reckoned with!

Keep the house blue in ‘22!!...pass it on

3. Aren't we up for gerrymandering before then?

You know they’re going to cheat their way into several seats.

4. If we turn out like we did in '18 and '20 we'd take back all the seats we lost in the House and some

plus a couple of senate seats, too.

5. That is definitely key.

People tend to think we “won” and it’s all good. We need to keep that enthusiasm going. And it would help if we can keep people like Manchin from ruining it all.

7. Very true.

6. I think if we pass this stim package, we'll do OK...

as long as they run on it and not away from it like they did the ACA.

8. Gerrymandering is the problem for Dems

Primarily Texas and Florida. Those states will likely gain seats and the Republicans will control the drawing of the districts. They'll probably make sure every street in Lubbock has a different Republican congressman.

9. I was thinking that, too

The key is for the states that are losing seats (NY, Cali, New Jersey, Minnesota) for it to come at the expense of their Republican seats...that way the Florida and Texas gains are a wash....wouldn’t it be nice if Issa and Nunez or McCarthy had to battle it out because one of their districts went away
