https://www.fresnobee.com/news/politics-government/election/local-election/article247335059.htmlHanford Republican David Valadaos lead in the U.S. House District 21 race shrunk Friday, but a political analyst has called the race.
Valadao, the challenger for the district, leads Rep. TJ Cox, D-Fresno, by 1,618 votes after the latest update from Kern County. Cox trimmed 178 votes from Valadaos lead on Friday.
With the number of votes left to count from Fresno, Kern, Kings, and Tulare counties dwindling, the lead was enough for Dave Wasserman, U.S. House editor for the nonpartisan Cook Political Report and NBC News contributor.

Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker will be far worse than John Boehner or Paul Ryan

I kind of see why some of the Magas say Cali was going to flip red.

It is located in the San Joaquin Valley and includes Kings County and portions of Fresno, Kern, and Tulare counties. Cities in the district include Coalinga, Delano, Hanford, and part of Bakersfield.

2022 could get ugly.

(43,499 posts)5. the only won left we have a shot at winning is IA-2 (we are down 47 votes), the rest are all lost
so we will have 222 or 223 seats max
18 to 19 net seats lost since the 2018 midterms
and 2022 is looking grim
good shot we lose the House

The only good thing to come out of that is that it would help Biden in 2024.

(43,499 posts)7. they are crazy enough to impeach Biden too, even knowing it goes nowhere in the Senate
