That was a fascinating race to watch, especially after some swing-district Republicans rejected making Jim Jordan speaker and conservatives roundly opposed House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and House Majority Whip Tom Emmer’s bids. Some, like Representative Anthony D’Esposito, whose Long Island district voted 14.6 points for Biden, are almost certain to lose. Similarly, if southern California Republicans like Representative Mike Garcia, who voted to overturn the 2020 election, and Michelle Steel, who represents Orange County, lose, it means Democrats are in for a wave year.
