Colorado’s new 8th Congressional District has shifted to the “leans Republican” category in a new political forecast that projects the GOP will take control of the House in Tuesday’s election with a 19-seat majority.
That would give the Republicans a total of 236 members, with a gain of 23 seats for a solid hold on the House of Representatives that would strip the speaker’s gavel from Nancy Pelosi.
From the Fox News power rankings:
Inflation and crime are still registering as the top two issues of concern for voters, and they favor the GOP by double digits. The border is also proving to be salient, with the latest national Fox News Poll showing voters favor the GOP on that issue by a whopping 21 points. Democrats have focused on the Supreme Court’s reversal of reproductive rights to some success, and Republicans have put a ceiling on their gains by nominating very far-right candidates in about a dozen swing districts. However, overall, the issues suggest the GOP is in for a good night.
The battleground for the Senate gives 47 seats to the Democrats and 49 to the Republicans, with four toss-up races deciding control in Arizona, Georgia, Nevada and Pennsylvania.
Joe O’Dea is still fighting down to the wire to boot Michael Bennet out of the Senate seat he’s held for 13 years, through one failed presidential run, and with zero accomplishments to change lives for the better.
Joe Biden drained the Strategic Petroleum Reserves to try and help his party at the ballot box. It’s totally reckless.
Now we have a dangerous diesel shortage, and working Americans are getting squeezed. We need change this November. pic.twitter.com/EdTrsjlPBV
