Republicans came very close to taking back the U.S. House of Representatives with less than 32,000 votes needed to win the majority according to Dave Wasserman, a political analyst and the editor of the non-partisan Cook Political Report.

Wasserman tweeted, “Just in: Anthony Brindisi (D) has conceded to Claudia Tenney (R) in #NY22. Final 2020 election House result: 222D, 213R. Republicans came within 31,751 votes of winning the majority.”

Breitbart reports:

Tenney’s Empire State victory over Brindisi, the final undecided House race in the nation, gives Democrats in the House a slim majority of nine seats.

With Tenney’s victory cemented, and all totals finalized for the 2020 election, Republicans flipped 15 house seats held by Democrats. Tenney defeated Brindisi by a razor-thin margin of 109 votes.

The slim difference in the amount of votes cast for Republicans in the 2020 election, as compared to that of Democrats, is significant because more than 152 million total votes were cast in House races last year. The difference in votes cast for GOP candidates compared to votes cast for Democrats in 2020 House elections is less than 0.1 percent.

Democrats were not as successful as Republicans when it came to flipping house seats as they were only able to flip three, two of which were in North Carolina.
