Republicans are on pace to flip 5 House districts: Arizona\u2019s 2nd and 6th, Michigan\u2019s 10th, New Jersey\u2019s 7th, and Texas\u2019s 15th. Democrats, on the other hand, are likely to flip only one seat, Illinois\u2019s 13th.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans need to win a net gain of 5 seats in the House, and while the GOP only has comfortable leads in enough races to net them a pickup of 4 seats, the CPR shows that Democrats are defending 8 toss-up seats to Republicans\u2019 6 toss-ups. If Republicans hold all their toss-up seats, they would need to flip just one of the toss-ups in Cook\u2019s modeling to take the majority.<\/p>\n<p>The new ratings, released on a rolling basis to account for ongoing redistricting debates, currently cover 263 of the country\u2019s Congressional districts. All 435 seats in the House of Representatives are up for re-election in 2022. Republican House Minority Leader <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/mccarthy-warns-house-democrats-of-possible-epic-defeat-in-2022\">Kevin McCarthy<\/a> (R-CA) has previously said that Republicans are looking to flip some 70 seats in the House in 2022.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIf you\u2019re a Democrat and President Biden won your seat by 16 points, you\u2019re in a competitive race next year,\u201d McCarthy&nbsp;told reporters at a press briefing the day after Republicans won the Virginia governor\u2019s race. \u201cYou are no longer safe,\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cIt\u2019ll be more than 70 that will be competitive. There\u2019s many that are going to lose their races based upon walking off a cliff from Nancy Pelosi pushing them,\u201d he continued. \u201cShe may not care if she loses. She lost 63 the last time she was Speaker moving policy that the country didn\u2019t care for.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Cook Political Report also previously shifted three Senate races toward the GOP amid the growing possibility of a wave election in 2022. The Daily Wire reported:<\/p>\n<p><em>The political predictor shifted its predictions for the Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada Senate races, from all three leaning in favor of Democrats to all three listed as toss-ups, still nearly a year away from the 2022 midterm elections. The three states \u201care all states that Biden carried by 2.5 points or less,\u201d CPR said, via Axios. President Joe Biden won&nbsp;Georgia&nbsp;by a little less than 12,000 votes,&nbsp;Arizona&nbsp;by less than 11,000, and&nbsp;Nevada&nbsp;by around 34,000 votes in the 2020 presidential election.&nbsp;Arizona&nbsp;and&nbsp;Georgia&nbsp;were also the sites of several hotly-contested audits over the election results. The three races are the only three Senate races that fall into that category, according to CPR, \u201cand if there is a sizable partisan swing we see come next November it\u2019s easy to see how these races get swept away even if GOP candidate quality is subpar.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Cook Political Report House editor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/republicans-primed-to-comfortably-take-back-congress-in-2022-after-democrats-election-disaster\">Dave Wassermann<\/a> also noted, after Republicans\u2019 victory in Virginia in November, that the result was consistent with a \u201cpolitical environment in which Republicans would comfortably take back both the House and Senate in 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
