CNN’s Enten: Dems Are in a Very Strong Position to Get ‘Plenty North of’ 218 House Seats

EXCERPT:

ENTEN: “I think it's so important we're going to look at the House today, because I think the Senate, we all have our eyes focused in on the Senate, and I think the House, you know what? It's half of Congress, in fact there are more members of the House than there are in the United States Senate. And I just think it's so notable, you know, you need 218 seats. Take a look at this, House seats at least leaning Democratic, I'm averaging the Cook political report and Sabato's Crystal Ball here. You know, a year ago it was 206, it's 206, you need 218 in order to get a majority. Look at it now, up like a rocket, we're now talking 223 seats. This is north of the 218 that Democrats need to take back the U.S. House of Representatives. And what I should note is these House raters, historically, they've actually been rather conservative. There are still 17 or there in about races that are toss-ups. So Democrats right now in a very strong position, not just to get 218 seats, but to get plenty north of there.”
