Another Gang of 66 member goes down in flames

The Republican triumph in the House of Representatives has grown a little wider, with the party now capturing 61 seats in this month’s midterm elections. The latest victory comes in Illinois’s Eighth Congressional District, where Representative Melissa Bean, a Democrat, conceded to Joe Walsh, a Republican.

Twenty Gang of 66 members were defeated on November Second. Good riddance! But the top two capos, Debbie Wasserman-Shultz and James Clyburn remain.
