Update

If the best Republicans can hope for out of the 2022 midterm election is congressional gridlock, it does look tonight like we may salvage at least that. See what Politico, which leans left but tries for a modicum of accuracy reports.

Democrats’ slim hopes to retain the House majority were just about extinguished Monday, with five races called for Republicans on Monday night.

As of late Monday evening, just 14 House seats remain uncalled, with 217 seats projected for Republicans and 204 for Democrats so far. Democrats would have to capture all of them to retain the chamber — a near-impossible task.

On the other hand, Kari Lake lost her bid for the governorship in AZ, which is too bad as her skills in tying the press in knots were unmatched. Tomorrow's news should bring word of House seat number 218 falling into GOP hands. 

It's fingers crossed time, folks. I am not going to miss Nancy P. showing up on the nightly news multiple times a week, that's for sure.
