Remember 2018 midterms everyone thought “red wave”, but republicans only won the senate which proved to be more important at the time due to having power over investigations as well as deciding if trump were to be removed due to impeachment (need 2/3 senate vote for removal).
If republicans only win the house this time, it must be more important this time around. For what reason I don’t know…I really don’t know anything I just speculate.
