Summary

Democrat Adam Gray’s victory in California’s 13th district tightens the Republican House majority to 220–215, marking the narrowest margin since the Hoover administration.

The GOP majority is expected to shrink to 217–215 in early 2025 due to Gaetz’s resignation and Stefanik and Waltz’s anticipated departures for the Trump administration.

With this slim majority and internal party divisions, House Republicans face significant challenges in advancing their legislative agenda under the incoming Trump presidency.

    I’m more concerned about how many neocon anti-Trumpers are left to ally with against the full throated fascism. “Centrists” are what they are but Manchin would still vote against open genocide against Americans.

      But if you put that genocide behind a mask and say it’s good for the economy centrists will support it.

      Like they support the health insurance industry.
