… So, what is a ‘wave’ election? And, how will we know if we are in one — or even in November, that we actually had one?
To be clear, anything other than flipping control of the House this fall will be a disaster for Democrats. Even if they win 20 seats — something that could technically be defined as a ‘wave,’ the election will be defined as a ‘win’ for the GOP.
Given that, can we call Democrats picking up 23 seats, the bare minimum needed to pick up the House, a wave? CONT.
