Fox News is now predicting Democrats will take control of the House in midterms The Senate, where the GOP holds 53 seats, remains a toss-up, the conservative outlet says For the first time this year, Fox News is projecting that Democrats will win control of the House of Representatives in November’s midterm elections. In its latest power rankings Tuesday, the conservative outlet forecast that Democrats are favored to capture 219 seats — one more than the 218 needed for a majority. Republicans were favored in 198 races, while 18 contests remained toss-ups. “The House is likely out of reach for the GOP this year,” according to the Fox News analysis. “The Democratic Party has enjoyed a lead in the House all year. Now, as another 20 races shift leftward, this forecast sees the Democrats taking control.”

Once they take the house and the senate, they can stop all that negative legislation that’s been passing, like… uhhh… ummmm… …don’t get me wrong… everyone should absolutely still vote, but even a massive victory is going to fix fuck all, and we should all be prepared for that.

Yes, I’m still voting regardless. I don’t believe anything until I see it. And we gotta do it again two years from now.

The house had been at like 99% odds for months now. The senate is at 74% now.

Yeah… but nope. It’s the USA, even with control of both chambers (not gonna happen btw), dems won’t do shit. Nothing happened when trump tried to take the capitol, nothing about Musk nazi salute, nothing when they decided to laugh in your faces about the Epstein files, nothing about war in Iran, almost nothing about ICE, etc. And nothing will happen when the GOP takes the next election, legally or not. It’s too little too late, democracy has left the USA a long time ago.
