Assuming the Santos seat flips Democrat, the house goes from 222-213 to 221-214.
So a 9 vote margin to a 7 vote margin.
It is mighty thin indeed…
For comparison, in the previous Congress the Democratic majority mostly ranged from 218 to 222 (for the last couple of weeks of 2022 it was as low as 216-213 due to resignations etc). See
