Blue states, 22 pick-ups and 1 leading, minus 2 GOP pick-ups
Purple states, 12 pick-ups, minus 1 GOP pick-up
Red states, 7 pick-ups

41 pick-ups, minus 3 GOP pick-ups = 38, plus Democrats leading now for 1 pickup = 39. Democrats should have 234 seats, Republicans 201 unless leads change hands.

I designated Purple states as AZ CO MI PA, as well as the usual

Blue states MN, NM, VA, as well as the usual


Blue state Dem pick ups:
CA 6
IL 2
ME 1
MN 2 minus 2 GOP pick ups
NJ 4
NM 1
NY 2 + 1 leading
VA 3
WA 1

Purple state Dem pick ups:
AZ 1
CO 1
FL 2
IA 2
MI 2
PA 4 minus 1 GOP pick up

Red state Dem pick ups:
GA 1
KS 1
OK 1
SC 1
TX 2
UT 1  

This quote is edited from my last posts. 

The New York 22 race is still not called, but the Democrat is ahead by 1886.  Republican Woodall won GA 7 by 419 votes. Washington Post and Real Clear Politics have called the Utah 4 race for the Democrat McAdams, who is ahead by 694 votes.

A Utah win could save Pelosi for speaker, if she only loses 16 votes and Ben McAdams supports her. 234-16=218. Meanwhile two others of the 16 who signed a letter opposing Pelosi have changed their mind.
