Will GOP Take Control Of House? Fox News ‘Power Rankings’ Has Answer

(Congress Report) – Fox News has released what it calls its “Power Rankings” for the 2022 midterm elections set for this fall, and they reveal that the Republican Party is likely going to take back control of the House by margins that range from half a dozen to several dozen seats.

That’s right, dear liberal friends, get ready to bathe in the massive red wave headed your way.

According to WND, the Fox report also suggests that the GOP will turn out to be the majority by “at least seven seats,” which is a margin that could end up being several dozen, news that is guaranteed to give radicals on the left nightmares and fits.

Their tears will be absolutely delicious.

This would bring the end of Nancy Pelosi’s current reign as the Speaker of the House to a much needed end. At least for the time being. Considering she’s in her 80s, perhaps it’s time for Pelosi to consider retiring to her home and eating all of that expensive ice cream she hoards?

“It also would rein in some of the more extreme moves that have developed in the House – like extreme ‘green agenda’ points, radical ‘equality’ proposals, deadly abortion plans and more – while the Democrats held the majority in the House and Senate, and Democrat Joe Biden was in the White House,” the report said.

The assessment from Fox News states that the GOP will probably take anywhere from 225 seats, which would give it a pretty solid majority, to a whopping 255 seats.

“With redistricting completed and the bulk of the primaries behind us, the Power Rankings model now reveals a clear advantage for the GOP in the House,” the report goes on to say. “With 218 seats required to take control, the GOP is forecast to take 225 seats to the Democrats’ 180 seats. Those figures include only the races in which one party has an advantage. The actual size of a GOP majority will depend on how many highly competitive ‘toss up’ races each party wins, but the Republicans are expected to gain at least a seven-seat majority (225 seats) and as much as a 37-seat majority (255 seats) in their ‘best case’ scenario.”

“Even if Democrats win all 30 races currently marked as toss-ups, the party still does not have enough support to retain control of the House,” the report continued.

There have actually been several of these kind of predictions to come out in recent months, which is probably why the Democratic Party is desperately attempting to push through so many of their political policies, like the attempt to codify abortion into law immediately after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.

The report revealed that a major factor that is leading to a prediction of such large gains by Republicans has to do with the plunging approval ratings of Joe Biden.

“A New York Times/Siena poll released Monday puts Biden’s approval rating at just 33%, and several high-quality polls now show Biden with a lower rating than former President Donald Trump had at the same time in his presidency. Just as Trump’s approval rating foreshadowed the Democrats’ solid victory in the House back then, so does Biden’s rating now,” the report stated.

“Cited as an issue by voters have been Biden’s inflation, especially higher costs for food and gas, and even Democrat candidates have started avoiding Biden. Then there’s Biden’s southern border crisis, his Afghanistan failure, the extremists he’s installed in positions, and more,” WND said.

The report then went on to explain “This translates into a congressional map where Republicans can retain the seats they need – and explore new territory. There are 13 seats held by Democrats in the ‘Lean R’ and ‘Likely R’ categories, but just one Republican-held seat in the ‘Lean D’ or ‘Likely D’ columns. That is TX-34, where newly sworn-in Rep. Mayra Flores will face a bluer redistricted electorate in November. This allows the GOP to play offense across the country. There are multiple pickup opportunities in swing states that have trended blue in the Trump era, like Colorado and Nevada. Even in Connecticut, a state that voted for President Biden by 20 points, five Democrat-held districts are competitive.”

The assessment also stated that the Supreme Court’s returning of abortion regulation to the states could have a large impact on the election results, but it’s not clear at this point how that might turn out.

Fox’s report also noted that Democrats are at risk of losing many key districts where the Hispanic support for the party was previously quite high.

Oh and there’s more bad news for the left.

The report said that Republicans also have the “edge” in the Senate.

“With a total of 49 seats across the Solid R, Likely R & Lean R columns (plus 29 seats not up for election in 2022), the GOP has to win only two of the five Toss Up races to take control of the Senate, whereas the Democrats need to win four of those races just to reach a 50-seat ‘majority’ with the aid of Vice President Kamala Harris,” it stated.

All the fun starts in November.

This is going to be awesome.
