Should this stand, that’s a huge loss for Republicans and Trump will no doubt be a target of partisan Democrats even more fiercely than he was before, as Democrats will now chair all of the committees in the House.
And if their word holds true, Democrats will also investigate Kavanaugh which would be ridiculous.
If Republicans hold the Senate, at least they can keep Democrats from doing more legislative damage, assuming the Senate doesn’t concede too often.
Oy vey, this is gonna be a bad 2 years for the House.
I would hope that for some reason Fox News is wrong, but they normally aren’t when they make a call like this. I’ll be sure and update you if anything changes.
UPDATE: It appears CNN agrees with Fox News:
