Republicans are not being “overconfident” in their expectations of taking the House, GOP Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) told Fox News on April 17, rejecting comments made by other Republican leaders that the race could still go in Democrats’ favor.
Currently, Democrats hold a thin majority in the House. In 2018, the party won control of the lower chamber, but since then, that majority has been decreasing. Amid dwindling approval ratings for President Joe Biden in addition to rising inflation and gas prices, many observers expect Republicans to retake a majority in the House later this year.
