19. If they were all there

Mon Jan 20, 2025, 04:04 PM

Yesterday

the GOP would have had 220 at the start of the 119th Congress, but Gaetz is gone (resigned during the 118th Congress) and Waltz would be stepping down, taking them down to 218.

Once Stefanik goes (and she probably will as she and Rubio are probably the least foaming-at-the-mouth loon of those named for appointments), then they will be down to 217 until the special elections kick in. I *think* DeSatan was supposed to have a Gaetz special election process starting this month (being lazy but I think it was going to be the 28th for the "primary" for that).
