NBC News now projects Republicans will win the House

NBC News is now projecting that Republicans will take the House of Representatives, but not by much.

According to the projection, Republicans will only win by a two vote margin.

Here’s more from Mediaite:

Hallie Jackson delivered NBC News’ latest projection that Republicans will take control of the House of Representatives, but just barely as they eke out a majority.

From there, Jackson and Savannah Guthrie turned their attention toward NBC News’ estimation that after the votes are counted, the House will end up with Republicans holding 219 congressional seats to the Democrats’ 216. With such a narrow margin, Jackson predicted that the Republican majority would commence various investigations into President Joe Biden, “but that very, very slim majority means that the actual work of governing is just gonna be trickier.”

If this ends up being the case then it means gridlock, which is all we could have hoped for legislatively speaking. Even if we had won the Senate it would still have been gridlock. Hopefully we can maintain status quo until 2024 in the Senate when hopefully we can turn it around.

Say what you will about the lack of a red wave and what not. Winning the majority in the House and getting Pelosi out of the Speaker’s seat is always a big victory.
