| Just two House races remain undeclared, and Republicans lead in both |

| [The Hill] Just two House races remain undeclared as of Thanksgiving Day, with Republicans leading in both races and looking to add to their majority. Democrats were able to hold on to the Senate and keep control of a number of key House seats after the "red wave" failed to materialize on Election Day, but Republicans last week narrowly crossed the 218-seat threshold to take the House. Now, more than two weeks after the midterms, two House races in California and Colorado are officially still up in the air — though the Democrat has conceded in Colorado. If the current GOP leads hold, Republicans will secure 222 House seats, while Democrats would hold 213. The 222-213 breakdown would notably be the exact reverse of the results in the 2020 election cycle, when the House split in the Democrats’ favor. In California’s 13th Congressional District, Republican John Duarte is ahead of Democratic former State Assemblyman Adam Gray by less than 600 votes, with 99 percent of the vote counted, according to The Associated Press. The race was seen as a toss-up heading into Election Day in the recently redrawn California district. The 13th Congressional District is currently represented by Rep. Barbara Lee (D), who decided to run in, and win, the new 12th District. Gray was endorsed by California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and both of California’s Democratic senators, Dianne Feinstein and Alex Padilla, but the redrawn lines made a blue win uncertain. |

| #2 I wonder how many RINOs the House has...might not take much to flip a vote. But, in the end, the two parties are two wings of the same, rapacious bird. |

| #1 this is enough to - investigate why Pelosi refused to ask for more security before 1/6 - investigate Joe Biden's role in Hunter's biz - investigate the FBI counterintel atrocities and quite a bit more, problem is that almost all these investigations can be thwarted by unresponsive persons or by DOJ declaring things confidential or by evidence gone |
