@nathanlgonzales @rollcall Right? Like, for tonight/this month, some folks will use current 220-212 to measure net gains. Rather than parceling out 3 vacancies (2 Ds & 1 R) to make it 222-213. I will use 222-213. Anyway, random factoid: this 117th Congress has not yet had a full 435 House members. — PolitiTweet.org

…. Rs started Jan 3, 2019 with 199 seats, but one vacancy (Walter Jones was sick, not sworn in and died in a month). They got fully set at 200 in early ‘19. Then Van Drew switched parties & Garcia (R) won special to fill K. Hill’s seat. Then Rs won 11 in Nov 2020 elections: +13 — PolitiTweet.org

I always get a kick outta watching people discuss/write about the 2020 House results. Just saw someone say +15 Rs. Seen it as +14, +12. All over the place. No one gets it right. Easiest way I explain it is, Rs +13 over 2-year cycle. … — PolitiTweet.org

Old enough to watch local news, I'm here to tell House campaign consultants, R & D, this: Come up with more ads, better variety/mix. Running same ads for weeks, if not months, on same nightly local newscasts that have loyal viewers, only hurts your cause. Viewers tune out. — PolitiTweet.org

BETHLEHEM, Pa. — @RepSusanWild explores role of identity & brand in 50-50 district, whether carving a niche can save her campaign. Others have done it - Shays in ‘06, Connolly in ‘10. F’man, Shapiro take very different brand posture. Sunday @PKCapitol https://t.co/OtPajrTEwr — PolitiTweet.org

Lotta focus on @jmart scooping Clyburn-Jeffries huddle to clear HJ path, whenever Pelosi steps down. (To be clear, she keeps that decision to just 1-2 people.) But the @repcleaver blessing of HJ is just as significant. He's the caucus preacher, beloved. https://t.co/oVlBIDBGy1 — PolitiTweet.org

@VolbeckWasRight @ahrferrier The long forgotten part about "leverage" is, your side has to post 218 affirmatively for some proposal. In previous House R majority, Club/HFA/others undermined l'ship & denied Boehner 218 from his side on most DL-fiscal cliff ideas. Sabotaged JAB. Could see same dynamic '23. — PolitiTweet.org

"I don’t think Joe Biden and his handlers are exactly eager to sign Republican legislation into law, so our hearings are going to be the most important thing." Remarkably low expectation-setting by some Rs in this great @lizcgoodwin joint. https://t.co/3TKWhhkjnU — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Kane @pkcapitol

I’m biased, obviously, but best MLB writing isn’t coming from Philly, Houston or national writers. It’s from my friends like @barrysvrluga &, today, @chelsea_janes, who’ve spent way more time around @bryceharper3 than other writers.
