I think we\u2019re going to get very close in the House. But I don\u2019t \u2014 I think it\u2019s going to be very close, but I don\u2019t think we\u2019re going to make it,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The responses follow an intense week of midterm election results that include some races that have still not been projected. The current House results show Republicans with <a href=\"https:\/\/results.decisiondeskhq.com\/national\/2022-house\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">212 projected seats<\/a>, with Democrats at 201; 218 seats are needed for a majority.<\/p>\n<p>Though the predicted conservative \u201cred wave\u201d fizzled, Republicans are still expected to win a majority in the House.<\/p>\n<p>In the Senate, Democrats are projected to win 50 seats, with Republicans at 49, <a href=\"https:\/\/results.decisiondeskhq.com\/national\/2022-senate\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to<\/a> Decision Desk HQ. The projections leave the chamber in the power of Democrats, though one seat remains to be determined in a runoff election.<\/p>\n<p>Georgia\u2019s Senate battle between Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock and Republican hopeful Herschel Walker left both candidates below the 50% mark in a race that included a third-party candidate. According to state law, the top two candidates will face one another in a runoff battle on December 6.<\/p>\n<p>Biden said in October that his first legislative priority would be to codify abortion rights overturned by the Supreme Court in June if Democrats held control of the House and Senate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I\u2019ve said before: The Court got <em>Roe<\/em> right nearly 50 years ago, and I believe Congress should codify <em>Roe<\/em> once and for all,\u201d Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/speeches-remarks\/2022\/10\/18\/remarks-by-president-biden-at-a-political-event-at-the-howard-theatre\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>. \u201cRight now, we\u2019re short a handful of votes. If you care about the right to choose, then you got to vote. That\u2019s why, in these midterm elections, it\u2019s so critical to elect more Democratic senators to the United States Senate and more Democrats to keep control of the House of Representatives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd, folks, if we do that, here is the promise I make to you and the American people: The first bill that I will send to the Congress will be to codify <em>Roe v. Wade<\/em>. And when Congress passes it, I\u2019ll sign it in January, 50 years after <em>Roe<\/em> was first decided the law of the land,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Vice President Kamala Harris also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c-span.org\/video\/?514548-1\/vice-president-harris-we-codify-roe-v-wade\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">called<\/a> to codify <em>Roe<\/em> in September as the Justice Department sued Texas over a state law that restricts abortions after six weeks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe right of women to make decisions about their own bodies is not negotiable,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Joe Biden told reporters on Monday that he did not expect much change regarding abortion rights following the midterm elections.
