Pas relevé ya 3 jours, mais le nouveau congrès américain a finalisé sa composition : 220 Républicains, 215 Démocrates.
Rep. John Duarte (R) conceded to Democrat Adam Gray in California’s 13th Congressional District on Tuesday night — the final uncalled House race of the 2024 cycle — solidifying the GOP’s 220-215 majority in the lower chamber.
That slim edge is already one of the closest in history. And it is set to narrow even more — and quickly — putting Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and his leadership team in a bind as they chart lofty goals for the next two years, when the GOP will have control of all levers of power in Washington.
“Do the math,” Johnson told reporters Wednesday morning. “We have nothing to spare.”
With former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) resigning and ruling out returning to Congress after his failed bid for attorney general, Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.) set to resign Jan. 20 to become national security adviser, and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) expected to leave the chamber to be U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, the GOP majority will shrink to 217-215 early next year. The first special elections are set to take place in April.

Les Républicains ont perdu des fauteuils sur ce cycle, déjà que le précédent était serré pour eux.
Donc suffit qu'yen ait deux qui se choppent un covid et un qu'ait pas eu son Banania, et la trifecta boitera.
Et le bloc Républicain, c'est vraiment un cirque. Il y aura clairement des plantades et des controverses.
On est pas encore à la bonne nouvelle, mais elle est pas hors de portée...
