I’m not even going to TRY to list out all 435 House Races, but let’s keep the discussion on that here.

Google election results is showing:

214 R / 205 D with 218 needed for majority. We likely won’t know the full result for several days.

16 races left to call.

CA 9 - Leaning Democratic
CA 21 - Leaning Democratic
CA 27 - Leaning Democratic
CA 39 - Called for the Democrat.
CA 47 - Leaning Democratic
CA 49 - Leaning Democratic
LA 6 - Called for the Democrat.
ME 2 - Leaning Democratic
OH 9 - Leaning Democratic
OR 5 - Leaning Democratic - Called by local media.

AK 1 - Leaning Republican
AZ 6 - Leaning Republican
CA 13 - Leaning Republican
CA 22 - Leaning Republican
CA 41 - Leaning Republican
CA 45 - Leaning Republican
IA 1 - Leaning Republican
WA 5 - Leaning Republican

Looks like it’s going to end up 213 D to 222 R

Particularly notable will be any flips from D to R or R to D.

Currently, the makeup of the House is:

220 Republicans
212 Democrats
3 Vacancies

Rep. Mike Gallagher (R-WI) resigned effective 04/25/2024.

Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) died 07/19/2024.

Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-NJ) died 08/21/2024.

If the Republicans lose just 5 seats, control will flip from them, back to the Democrats with a majority of 217 to 215. Not even counting the three vacancies.

    So for the supermajority to be effective, the Democrats must also have the Senate and 26 states must be Democratic for the constitutional amendment to become a reality. Right?
