christy smith talked about this when she basically conceded the race online.emocrats weren't spending money. l.a. is an expensive media market. so she thinks that hindered her here. but garcia doing much better against her this time around than two years ago. so democrats just lost that last gasp they had over the weekend. and big picture i would just say, if you zoom out and look at the big picture of the house map here and say that there is -- let's see we land at 221, right? 221 for the republicans and 214 for the democrats. we're not sure that is where it will end, plus or minus. i think one thing that will haunt democrats for at least the next two years, possibly longer, is new york state. because in new york state, democrats had full control of the government, they drew up map that is were designed to maximize the number of democratic seats. those maps got thrown out by a judge, replaced. and under the new scheme, it wasn't just the maps, but under the new scheme and with a governor's race that was closer than expected where the republican candidate drov

the 27 districts here, mark garcia the republican leading by nearly ten points over christie smith. kristie smith all but conceded this race on twitter yesterday. the 41st district of california now we're about two thirds of the vote is, and kim calvert's lead is expended just about 1400 votes or so. this evening. so what sort of emerging here, new york 22 is, one california 45 is to, california 27 is three, california 41, is for, arizona one could be five, arizona six could be -- i could've just given you the six seats here that would get the republicans to 2:18. if the republicans go to six for six in the states i just showed you, and they're feeling good about their standing in all of them, that's 2:18. so democrats need to step up and need to win at least one of those six that i showed you, and then they would need some more democrats would need more bricks because you would take a look at the 22nd district of california, it's extremely slow to count. here but david valadao, the republican incumbent here in the central valley with ali just under 3000 votes, this is what democrat

maybe you need something like this and in dade you have a come back here, christy smith over marc orysialosest, one of the closest house races in the country two years ago. maybe in the 41st district of california can get calvert of the long serving republican, the district was change. it made a little bit more democratic in the redistricting process. these are the kind of prices where democrats would have to pull off upsets, get a couple of those, when some of the others that we were showing you, and they could get up to 218 seats. the irony of all of this, alex, is if they do end up falling just short, let's say they get 215, that would be three seats short, where is the most damage done to democrats? in new york state. in new york state earlier this year, democrats, we have all the power, drew congressional lines that were designed to maximize democratic gains, minimize republican opportunities. that map got thrown out by court, redrawn, and on the new redrawn map, republicans ousted and picked up four democratic held seats just out of new york, including that of the chairman of the d

christy smith.chell says their national modeling shows of democrats can flip these two seats, then they have a good chance of winning the house. that's how important that would be as a signal as to where the national mood is. and right now according to 538 the house is favored to be won by republicans, but we'll see on tuesday to shore up some support here in the state governor gavin newsome is campaigning for congresswoman katie porter in orange county today here locally mayor. willie brown is hosting his annual free election day luncheon this tuesday. it happens every election day at john's grill in san francisco. it's attended by a who's who of bay area politics and it is open to everyone. this is a collection of people who are from the press people from the political world people holding political office people trying to hope political people. wanted to be seen it happens right here at john's grill, and i am the host. i don't pay for a nickel of it, but i'm those the tradition for this luncheon

christy smith all be conceded the race on twitter. so again if republicans hold on to the 45th to the 27th, they also got good news last night in a vote update in the 41st district. ken calvert, a small lead but it is a lead and it grew yesterday by about 1500 votes with about two-thirds of the vote in there. and republicans also very hopeful about the third district of california, only about half the votes in, but again you see a lead there of about 10,000. and i just went through four of them. if they won just three of those four, they would hit that number. so democrats would have to pull a surprise in at least in a couple that i just showed you, they would have to win basically everything else on this board too. there are some left here that i think democrats are well positioned in, but in terms of getting to 218, there is a clear path at this hour fors to do that. and they would like obviously to get a little bit more than 218, you know, so they have at least a little bit of breathing room with that majority. but 218 is the bare

christy smith all but conceded this race on twitter yesterday in california's 47th.d to make up if he's going to catch michelle steel. seven points. about two-thirds of the vote is in. ken calvert, republican in the 41st district. leads by 4,000 votes. here's another one. almost all the votes are in in new york's 22nd district. this is the syracuse area, and a republican with a lead. i gave you six districts where democrats are going to need a very late and dramatic reverse toll win any of those, and they have to win at least one of those i just gave you. because if republicans win all six, that's 218. that's the house, and there everyone are other districts, for instance, the 22nd in the central valley of california, where republicans lead so far in the tally and could win as well. the odds suggest the republicans are the favorites to get control of the house. democrats not mathematically eliminated and even if republicans get it, that majority could be very, very thin. >> that's the link between what your numbers are showing and what some of our guests said tonight

mike garcia, the republican incumbent, with a lead here of over 13,000 votes over christie smith. this is a rematch of what was one of the closest house races in the country in 2020 but garcia so far has been hitting numbers his campaign, i think he is very happy with. and the democrat all but conceded several days ago on twitter. more than 70% of the vote is. in i think 7:00 eastern or so tonight, we are expecting another significant update of votes from los angeles county. that could move this. that could add a lot of clarity to this race. again, the republican win in the 27th, they're at their number. they have the majority. that's 218. a republican win in the third, they got their number. they're at 218. so again, there is a question here of if and when they hit that today, and officially have the majority, and then the second question, just becomes how big would that majority ultimately be where they have any kind of a pad. if they got the third, if they got the 27th, they would be at 219, and if lauren boebert hangs on in colorado, third, they would be at 220. there is a ver

christy smith here the democrats have been elected to congress for the last 20 years in the last presidential by a margin of 30%, but in 2 years the mood of the voters has changed radically and the balance of power in washington, the majority of republicans in the house of representatives is a big problem for the entire white house, but for its owner. they already started a few hours ago. congress announced an investigation against the bidens.
