I don't know the exact dates of all the elections in those districts. I think two had elections yesterday. They'll be back up. But it's a margin that's shorter than smaller than they've ever had. And They couldn't really govern the first time Donald Trump was president when they had a majority. when they had I think 241 and they're more like 220 something. 220 or 221 is what their majority will likely be after the special elections.
