House GOP campaign committee chair touts ‘the bottom line is we flipped the House’

It won’t be as big as they had hoped, but the chair of the House Republicans re-election committee is showcasing that “we delivered on our goal” by winning back the chamber’s majority

The Republican from Minnesota, who’s steering the House GOP’s re-election arm for the second straight cycle, noted, "Republicans are going to flip the House for the third time since 1954. Think about that. In the last 68 years, Republicans have only retaken the majority three times."

While the Republicans lost control of the White House and the Senate in the 2020 election cycle, House Republicans defied expectations and took a big bite out of the Democrats' House majority. And they only need a net gain of just five seats in the 435-member House to win back control the chamber they lost in the 2018 midterms.
