A Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D) victory in WA03, combined with Reps. Katie Porter and Mary Peltola winning reelection in CA47 and Alaska-At-Large, respectively, would mean House Democrats will represent the entire Pacific Coast. From San Diego to the Arctic Ocean. — PolitiTweet.org

Defeated Rep. Steve Chabot (OH) was the last member left from the Republican Class of 1994, which swept in the first GOP majority in 40 years. Three Class of 1994 Democrats will remain in office: Reps. Lloyd Doggett (TX), Sheila Jackson Lee (TX) and Zoe Lofgren (CA). — PolitiTweet.org

Gallagher, the late watermelon-smashing comedian, ran for governor (as an independent) in the 2003 California gubernatorial recall election, Gallagher finished 16th out of 135 candidates with 5,466 votes. Good for 0.1%. — PolitiTweet.org

DCCC Chair Sean Patrick Maloney's NY17 loss is arguably the most awkward congressional exit since Rep. Dan Lungren (R-CA) was defeated in 2012. As House Administration Committee chair, Lungren had to lead the freshmen orientation of the incoming lawmaker class. — PolitiTweet.org

Blue pockets in deeply-red states. D Joy Hofmeister lost to OK GOP Gov. Kevin Stitt 56%-42%. But she's winning Oklahoma County 55%-42%. In WV02, Monongalia County has gone for the D nominee 54%-46%. As he lost to GOP Rep. Alex Mooney nearly 2-1. Both are fast-growing counties. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Chris Pappas (D) won reelection in NH01, which is long among the nation's swingiest districts. Going back to 1974, Republicans have nabbed it 13 times, to 12 for Democrats. At its most competitive point, the seat flipped in four straight House elections, from 2010-2016. — PolitiTweet.org

With the 2022 loss by Rep. Yvette Herrell, NM02 will have its fourth straight member in as many House terms. Ex-Rep. Steve Pearce, R (2017-19) Ex-Rep. Xochitl Torres, D (2019-21) Rep. Yvette Herrell, R (2021-23) Rep.-elect Gabe Vasquez, D (2023-25) — PolitiTweet.org

Cresent Hardy (R-NV), Elizabeth Holtzman (D-NY), and Mike Sodrel (R-IN). Ex-Rep. Max Rose (D-NY) lost in the general election. Ex-Rep. Bruce Poliquin is behind in his ME02 comeback bid, with ranked-choice voting preferences still to be tabulated and applied. 2/2 — PolitiTweet.org

After Senate losses in 2018 and 2022, Rep.-elect John James (R-Mich.) picked his spots well in the 2022 cycle. Considered a 2022 governor bid but then went for a new Macomb County House seat, successfully. https://t.co/GVTyL0tqQz — PolitiTweet.org

The fourth time's the charm for Rep.-elect Tom Kean Jr. (R-N.J.). Previously lost House bids in 2000 (GOP primary), 2020 (general) and as the 2006 New Jersey Republican nominee. https://t.co/8WNmUZnrkL — PolitiTweet.org

@brianros1 Fair point. Though there may be some seats that grow bluer through the coming decade, like MT01 — PolitiTweet.org

DCCC chair for the 2024 cycle could be a plum job. With House Democrats (presumably) within striking distance of reclaiming the majority. But defeated DCCC Chair Sean Patrick Maloney (NY) offers a cautionary tale about the need for someone in the role from a reliably blue seat. — PolitiTweet.org

With Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) retiring, president pro temp — third in the line of presidential succession behind VP and House speaker — is set to be Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) or Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.). Both are age 89. — PolitiTweet.org

Arkansas Gov.-elect Sarah Huckabee Sanders follows her father, fellow Republican Mike Huckabee as governor (1996-2007.) Second father-daughter gubernatorial team in U.S. history. The daughter of late Ohio Dem Gov. John J. Gilligan is ex-Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius (D). — PolitiTweet.org
