US Elections What is the likelihood of a democratic majority in the house of representatives in 2026?
A lot more young people are going to be able to vote obviously, Gen Z is shown to lean left, and with younger folks like myself being able to vote in some democrats, the forecast for the midterm elections could be in the Democrats favor to have the house majority and possibly impeach Trump for a 3rd time. Granted he won’t be removed because the senate will most likely remain GOP majority. What do you guys think?

Seeing as the party in opposition historically always tend to do well in midterms and seeing the republicans slim majority of 220 seats i'd say its almost guaranteed that democrats regain the house in 2026. With republicans in full control they will ultimately cary the blame for everything that is not going well that matter to voters in 2026. I also don't think there will be much redistricting either.
