Punchbowl News: “The House will return Monday night to several new dynamics.”
“Voters in Houston will elect a candidate this weekend to replace the late Rep. Sylvester Turner (D-TX). If Johnson swears in a new Democrat as expected, the House will have 218 Republicans and 214 Democrats. That’s a one-vote margin on any bill for the GOP (remember, ties don’t count.)”
