Politico: Johnson Faces Possible One-Seat Majority
Politico Playbook reports:
Newly counted ballots last night put Democrat Adam Gray 182 votes ahead of GOP Rep. John Duarte in California’s 13th Congressional District, Gray’s first lead. It’s now the closest of three uncalled House races, with Democrat Derek Tran leading by 613 votes in California’s 45th and GOP Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks up by 800 in Iowa’s 1st.
The math … If the current leads hold, the final 2024 House tally would be 220-215 in favor of Republicans — a net gain of two seats for Democrats. But the GOP will immediately start the 119th Congress down a seat due to Matt Gaetz’s resignation, with Reps. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) and Michael Waltz R-Fla.) expected to step down later in January.
