House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy declared victory on Tuesday saying that Republicans had secured enough seats to flip control of the U.S. House of Representatives.

"I want to thank the millions of supporters across this country," said McCarthy, R-Calif. "It is clear we are going to take the House back."

McCarthy told a throng of supporters at a victory party in Washington, D.C, that the feat was possible because of the diverse array of candidates Republicans had recruited this cycle.

"If you believe in freedom, hard work and the American dream these results prove there is a place for you in the Republican Party," said McCarthy. "We are expanding this party."

The comments came despite control for the House of Representatives being too close to call. While Republicans had succeeded in ousting vulnerable Democrats, a significant number of House races had yet to be called.

McCarthy isn’t a leader. He hasn’t fought the fight like Jim Jordan and other conservatives.

McCarthy is an empty suit but he sure as hell has Trump hoodwinked. Sad.

[dfwgator]

Republican Leadership is an oxymoron.

LAXALT IS ONLY 6K DOWN IN NV NOW! LOOKS LIKE A WIN!

Laxalt is down by 400 with 66% reporting. That was quite a turnaround. He was getting stomped with 30% reporting.
