The Democrats Now Have a Structural Advantage in the House

Zachary Donnini explains.

Although Republicans won the popular vote by 2%, they appear likely to only win a 222-213 majority in the chamber, even after winning two tight races heading to recounts. In 2022, it was Democrats who held a structural advantage in the house—if Democrats tied Republicans in the national house vote, they would have won a 221-214 majority in the chamber.

Surely, then, progressive complaints that the electoral system is biased against them will get a little quieter, right?
