Depends off course which pundits one believes. Which media outlet can spin the likelihood.
So, how about a dose of reality?
The underrated factors limiting the power of a blue wave next year
There’s a key factor limiting the power of a potential Democratic surge next year: the number of seats that are realistically competitive.
Even as this year’s election results have left many in the party encouraged they can mount a massive blue wave, next year’s battleground is a far cry from 2018 — with fewer Republican-held seats for Democrats to easily target.
Gerrymandering is the major cause of the shrinking House map. Even before some states redrew their maps this year — and others potentially do so early next year — partisan redistricting after the 2020 U.S. Census had already left fewer battlegrounds on the table. After the 2020 election, for example, there were 93 congressional districts that had been within 10 points at the presidential level. But when the maps were redrawn, there were just 79 such districts.
BUT.............
In a wave year, Democrats can still play in some truly red seats.
Snowflake's bold prediction: The Blue Wave will win the House, but not the Senate.
