Midterm elections historically go well for the party that\u2019s not in the White House, and the out-of-power party is especially likely to do well in the House, since every seat is up for election (<a style=\"font-style: inherit;font-weight: inherit\" href=\"https:\/\/fivethirtyeight.com\/features\/why-did-the-house-get-bluer-and-the-senate-get-redder\/\">the Senate is a more complicated story<\/a>).<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Since the end of World War II, the presidential party\u00a0<a style=\"font-style: inherit;font-weight: inherit\" href=\"https:\/\/www.brookings.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/2-4-Full.pdf\">has lost an average of 27 House seats<\/a>\u00a0in midterm elections, as the chart below shows. No matter how many seats Democrats end up with after 2020\u2019s election \u2014 at this point, they will probably end up somewhere in the low 220s \u2014 a loss of that magnitude would easily be enough for Republicans to retake the House. \u2026<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The GOP is set\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/GOPRedistrict\/status\/1325813957773447170\">to fully control<\/a>\u00a0redistricting for about two-fifths of all House seats, while Democrats will only hold sway over one-tenth of them, with the remaining seats are in states with divided governments or where redistricting is done by a commission system.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The current makeup of the House is comprised of 221 Democrats and 211 Republicans, with three seats still vacant. In Louisiana, Julia Letlow, the widow of GOP Representative-elect Luke Letlow, who died of complications from Covid-19 only days before he was to be sworn in, will run in a special election on March 10.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMs. Letlow has been active in Louisiana Republican politics for years and was selected for her university job, in part, to provide \u2018insight into strategies and alliances\u2019 that would be helpful for the school during its interactions with elected officials,\u00a0her online biography said,&#8221; The New York Times <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/01\/14\/us\/julia-letlow-congress-luke.html\">reported<\/a>. Letlow issued a statement saying, \u201cI am running to continue the mission Luke started \u2014 to stand up for our Christian values, to fight for our rural agricultural communities and to deliver real results to move our state forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In New York\u2019s 22<sup>nd\u00a0<\/sup>congressional district, Republican Claudia Tenney unofficially won the election by 29 votes over Democrat Anthony Brindisi. \u201cThe final ruling from state Supreme Court Justice Scott DelConte in the judicial review of contested ballots in New York\u2019s 22nd Congressional District will come today,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uticaod.com\/story\/news\/local\/2021\/01\/29\/anthony-brindisi-claudia-tenney-ny-22-judge-rule-ballots-friday\/4292725001\/\">Observer-Dispatch<\/a> reported Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Democratic Rep. Cedrick Richmond of Louisiana resigned on Jan. 15, 2021, to join the Biden administration; his seat will likely be filled by a Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, if Letlow and Tenney win their seats, the GOP will trail in the House, 222-213, a difference of just nine votes. That would mean they would only need to win a difference of five seats in 2022 to take over the House.<\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
