They NEED to get this to make sure Trump and Republicans have something to stop any Trump run on Congress….
The final makeup of the House will take a bit…..
The race for the House is on a knife-edge, with redistricting accounting for some early seat changes but no clear trend about which way control of the chamber is headed.
