The projected US House victories of Arizona Rep. Juan Ciscomani* (R-Tucson) and California Rep. Ken Calvert* (R-Corona), along with GOP challenger Gabe Evans* defeating Colorado Rep. Yadira Caraveo (D-Thurston) has clinched 219 Republican seats in the new House of Representatives, one more than the bare majority.

California hosts at least eight competitive Democrat vs. Republican US House races on Tuesday night, the final results of which stand a good chance of determining the next House majority.

Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) in losing her primary became the third incumbent during this campaign year to fall to an intraparty challenger and similarities are present in each of the situations.

Early in the election cycle, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, through their Super PAC arm the United Democracy Project, pledged to spend upwards of $100 million to target and defeat some of Israel’s most vociferous opponents in Congress, and while their spending is high the total won’t likely reach such a lofty number.

Colorado US Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Silt) has been on a political roller coaster this year to say the least. 

Earlier in the week five-term Washington Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-Sunnyside) was considered a retirement possibility, and such speculation grew when 2022 Republican US Senate finalist Tiffany Smiley began preparing a run for his congressional seat.

This week brought another US House retirement, which brings the total number of open seats heading into the next election to 50. Four of the vacancies will be filled in special elections prior to November.

Another House retirement announcement came to the forefront Wednesday, one that was never even a subject of speculation.

Colorado US Rep. Lauren Boebert’s (R-Silt) controversial move across her state to seek re-election now appears as less of a long shot.

The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) released their first targeting list entitled “Red to Blue,” though the group of 17 House districts actually contained one already in the Democratic column.
