One week away

But let's look at the map overall, Nick.

So basically, all 434 House seats are up for election on November 3rd.

As everyone knows, this is what always happens every year.

The House, everybody's every two years.

And so they're up for reelection every two years.

We've had a couple of House folks throughout the year on this show, all of them.

are up for reelection this year from Congressman Glenn Ivey, Dan Goldman is out because he lost his primary so it'll be a new person representing his district.

We had Jasmine Crockett on the show obviously she decided to run for Senate so she won't be up for reelection in her house, because she gave up that seat.

We had Gabe Vasquez on a few weeks ago in New Mexico.

He's up as well for reelection.

So, you know, we've had so many different people from the House and a few from the Senate, but they're not actually up for election this year.

So you got all 435 House seats.

Right now, according to...

And we're going to use a bunch of different polling places for this.

Shout out to Emerson College.

Shout out to my friends over at Real Clear Politics.

NBC News as well with Steve Kornacki that do all the breakdowns of what leans left, what leans right.

Right now, there's about 196 seats in the House that lead solid Democratic, 159 solid to Republican.

That means... that for people out there, how they qualify and quantify this.

So they take into account all of the data over the years and the registered Dems, Republicans, independents within those different districts.

So they look at the tabulations from that, and then they look at where people are likely to lean with respect to voting.

Now, what doesn't get factored into this numerically is what happened in 2020, right? Where you just get Republicans that come out and vote for Joe Biden.

That doesn't happen because they're Republicans.

They normally vote are all the way up and down the ticket.

So you can't account for that.
