Especially because it took so long after this election to get the final tallies in for a couple seats and when all was said and done, the GOP actually had a net loss of 1 seat + we had already picked up the Santos seat in a special election (and retained it this past election), so that moved us from the "213" that we had at the beginning of the 118th Congress, to "215" at the beginning of the 119th Congress.
