Anyway, officially, the number right now stands at 211 Democrats & 218 Republicans. So even though all the races have not yet been called, the right wingers are claiming victory.
Of the 8 House races still not officially called:
Maine 2 - Definitely will be a Democratic "hold". Should have been called days ago.
Alaska - The Democratic Candidate Peltola has a 48 - 26 lead over Moosealini. It's insane that this wasn't called a week ago.
Colorado 3 - This one is the true nail-biter.... right now in my own state MAGA Cock Sucker Gun Nut Barbie Boebert has a razor thin lead of 50.2 to Adam Frisch's 49.8 (not sure what Colorado's recount threshold is, but this one might drag on for a while. That f - ing nutcase needs to go.
California 34 - This is a 51 - 48 contest between two Democrats so no reason not to call it as a win for the "D" column
California 47 - Another 51 - 48 contest between Katie Porter (D) and Scott Baugh (R) - call it already. We need Katie available for House leadership, even if it ends up in the minority party.
California 13 - Another down to the wire race with 90.8% reporting. The Republican has a 50.4 - 49.6 lead over the Democrat, so this could go either way.
California 3 - A bizarrely gerrymandered district that starts somewhere east of Sacramento and runs about halfway down the Nevada state line. Apparently their ballots are delivered by carrier pigeon as they still only have 65% reporting. Currently sits at 52.3% for the Republican vs 47.7% for the Democrat.
California 22 - This is the district formerly "represented" by Devin Nunes and his tweeting cow. Another carrier pigeon district with 67.4% reported. Currently the Republican leads 52.8% to 47.2% for the Democrat
So even in the "worst case" scenario, the Democrats will get 4 of these 8 seats. The so-called "red wave" has resulted in barely a ripple.
