Republicans' slim 220-215 House majority remains intact amid limited vacancies from Trump administration appointments, such as Rep. Mike Waltz's (R-FL) move to national security adviser and Rep. Elise Stefanik's (R-NY) UN ambassador nomination, with special elections scheduled for spring 2025 in their safe Republican districts (FL-6 rated R+20, NY-21 R+15). Recent announcements of primary dates and strong GOP frontrunners in those races reinforce trader consensus at 82% against a pre-2026 midterm flip, as Democrats would need multiple upsets in red territory. No recent resignations or scandals have eroded the edge, and historical special election base rates favor the majority party in such contests.
