- rayiner 4y agoYes, the "minority" party that's currently 2 points ahead on the generic Congressional ballot (https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/generic-ballot/ https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/generic-ballot/), won 1.5 million more votes than Democrats in the 2016 House elections, and is on pace to win several million more votes than Democrats in the 2022 House elections. That's an interesting definition of "minority" you have there?
