...except it could also give control of the House over to the GOP. Even in a D+7 district it would be left open for several months until the Special Election.
I thinks she’s so a fantastic job, but BIDEN SHOULD NOT REMOVE ANY DEMOCRATIC HOUSE OR SENATE MEMBERS RIGHT NOW.

I don’t think people fully appreciate how fucked we’d be if we lost the House this session. Even if we flip both GA Senate seats, we’d just reverse the problem. Zero legislation AND they’d try to impeach Biden out of the gate as “revenge” for Trump’s deserved impeachment.
For those who haven't been following along, via @CookPolitical, right now it looks like:
Dems: 221 (218 needed for majority)
GOP: 207
Uncalled: 7
Here's the status of those 7 races right now:

I'd imagine we have a good chance of winning the first 4, but it's not looking good for the other 3. If that's how it plays out, we'll end up with 225 to 210, giving Dems a 7 vote advantage.
That MIGHT be enough space for Biden to nab 1 or 2 Dems for appointments, but maybe not.

Remember, shit happens--if ANY Dems decide to resign, pass away, etc. mid-term, the majority would be instantly jeopardized. Plus, it would mean House Dems couldn't afford to have more than 1 or 2 caucus votes on ANY bill for ANY reason.
See, now THIS makes sense: @JoeBiden should look at the House Dems who LOST their seats (in most cases after a single term) and consider appointing a few of THEM as appropriate, assuming they don't plan on running again in 2022.
