Josh Marshall lays out a compelling argument that a narrow GOP House majority - like one or two seats - would actually be in Democrats' best interest. The basic contours are this: Democrats do not have 52 seats in the Senate, so they won't be able to pass Roe. They will have control of the Senate, so they can confirm judges. But having a batshit insane clown posse "running" the House means that Biden can take credit for what I imagine will be a much improved economy in 2024, without having to answer for not passing Roe or Voting Rights or any other pet issue.
I'm not 100% sure I agree. I wonder if there are 9 GOP cloture votes for Roe to get it off the table after this week. But it does track with Obama and Clinton's reelections.
