House Democrats from states that Trump has threatened with National Guard presence voted for the GOP defense policy bill that further enmeshes the military domestically.

- Blue Dog whip Adam Gray of #CA13, in the San Joaquin Valley
- George Whitesides of #CA27, north of L.A.
- Laura Gillen of #NY04, in Long Island
- April Delaney of #MD06, an hour west of Baltimore

House GOP denied votes on all Democratic amendments to the NDAA, including on limiting troop usage.

"St Bees" has to be my favourite West Cumbrian place name. Though, I admit Goose Butts is a close second.

After all, there's little as saintly as even a secular bee. These ones must be wonderful.

@KathyLK
that was #CA27 #GOP Mike Garcia's campaign platform.

"I flew planes and support anything Donald Trump says."

He also tried to overthrow the American democracy in 2021 and supported the #January6th MAGANazi terrorist attack.

@PeggyStuart
I think Whitesides will be a massive improvement for #CA27 over #Trump flunkies #MikeGarcia who's entire platform was "I flew planes and will do whatever Trump says".

@TonyStark @Yoshi
Our House member #MikeGarcia #CA27 is busy taking credit for the infrastructure money that he voted against.

More proof that #GOP election interference claims were nothing but lies in service of their plot to end American democracy and replace it with a #Republican #FourthReich autocracy.

#CA27 voters should remember that #RepMikeGarcia was part of the plot to overthrow the election and install a fascist dictator.

Our #Republican #RepMikeGarcia in #CA27 is always available to use vets as props for his photo ops and in his campaign propaganda.

Clearly, he doesn’t give a shit about our vets or military service members.

@VPS_Reports I assume #CA27 #RepMikeGarcia will be attending this #Fascist extravaganza?

In his latest “newsletter” #CA27 #Republican #MikeGarcia’s propaganda whines about a Dems increasing #SCOTUS. A good idea, but never happened. He writes:

“You shouldn’t be allowed to change the rules of the game simply because you’re losing.”

He ignores the fact that the #GOP reduced the number of judges for a year in 2016 and rammed through an unqualified theocrat during election voting in 2020.

All because Republicans were losing.

#repmikegarcia #CA27 nominating #kevinMccarthy for the 12th time. How. Humiliating. Disgraceful for the countruy. "Putin has won.". #RepublicansInDisarray

MAJOR UPDATE 7:00pm - Control of the US House

It is done.

AP calls #CA27 for the Republican.

This secures at least a 218-217 GOP majority.

If the remaining uncalled races fall as the current counts, there will be an eventual GOP majority:

GOP 221 - 214 Dem

(sigh) Crud. Looks like #CA27 has been called for the GOP, giving them 218 & the majority.

Dems could still potentially hit 217 but 214-215 is most likely.

From Dave Wasserman:

New House math:

Dem called/likely (213), incl. #AKAL, #CA09, #CA21, #CA47, #CA49, #CO08, #ME02, #OR06
GOP called/likely (217): incl. #CA03, #CA27, #CA45, #CO03, #NY22, #OR05
Toss Ups (5): #AZ01, #AZ06, #CA13, #CA22, #CA41

Dems need to run the table on the last five for 218.

NO CHANGE 7:30am Saturday in the Race for US House Control.

No race-changing results have been called.

The House continues to be GOP 219-216 Dem.

For Dems to win control, they must win at least 2 of:

2:30pm UPDATE - There's been a change! A previously "leans GOP" counted race has flipped and been called by the AP: #MD06 has been won by Krone (D).

This changes the House vote count from GOP 220-215 Dem, to 219-216 Dem, with several outstanding races yet to have their votes fully counted.
