House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-LA) believes that neither party is likely to win a significant majority in the House in the 2024 election or soon in the future.
With one week until Election Day, the top House Republican told the Washington Examiner that while Republicans have an opportunity to expand their slim five-seat majority, gone are the days for either party to hold a double-digit advantage over the other. That’s due to several reasons, including recent redistricting that has changed the electoral map and made several seats more competitive.
“We could get up to maybe double digits, like a 10-seat majority, but the days of a 30-seat majority are gone for either side. That’s just kind of where things are right now,” Scalise said. “But each race is so expensive. I mean, most of these races are $20 [million] to $30 million races.”
