Assuming the Santos seat flips Democrat, the house goes from 222-213 to 221-214.

So a 9 vote margin to a 7 vote margin.

It is mighty thin indeed…

For comparison, in the previous Congress the Democratic majority mostly ranged from 218 to 222 (for the last couple of weeks of 2022 it was as low as 216-213 due to resignations etc). See

“I just don’t like anything which creates a lords and peasants kind of thing.”

Excellent. Then you’re the world’s greatest supporter of unions and would never allow a non-union shop situation, where the billionaire class can take advantage of workers completely unfettered and with no accountability.

You know, a “lords and peasants” kind of situation, where the lords have all the power and the peasants have none. That sure would be horrible. Glad we all agree on that.
