Democrats Close to Flipping 40 House Seats

“Democrats are on the cusp of flipping 40 seats in the House, solidifying what many prognosticators had long anticipated: a blue wave,” the Washington Examiner reports.

More than two weeks after Election Day, TJ Cox (D) trails Rep. David Valadao (R) by just 447-votes in California’s 21st congressional district.

Nate Silver: “We’re moving CA-21 to Lean D. Obviously going to be very close, but these late ballot updates keep coming in on pace with what Cox (D) would eventually need to win by a couple tenths of a point.”

David Wasserman: “T.J. Cox (D) now has a better than even chance to defeat Rep. David Valadao (R) in #CA21 and give Dems a 40 seat gain.”
