A racist, anti-choice, election truther, climate science denialist, Russia stooge, and Trump stan? His family have my sympathies for their loss, but it’s hard to imagine that politics in general isn’t better off without him.

    Wait, given that this is the day after MTG’s retirement, does that mean that the house just flipped?

      No. Was 220-213 with 2 vacancies.

      MTG left - 219-213.

      This guy dies - 218-213.

      Even if the vacancies get filled with Democrats that’s still 218-215.

      So 4 more seats need to change to flip it. 2 Republicans + 2 vacancies.
