Is the House in play yet?

With all the trump meltdown stuff going on lately, I was wondering if he's poisoned the well enough for the dems to win back the house. It would be so ironic if it happened- trump's abuse of women leads to 2 women getting power in DC.

Hopefully this will create a big enough tidal wave to bring down every vulnerable Republican Representative.

I've seen 6-8 points as the markers for where the House could flip. Seems doable to me.

But we need 30 seats to take back the Speakers Gavel and put Speaker Pelosi back in charge of the House. That is a lot of seats? There is a lot of work to be done if we are to get there,
