But the Democrats are on track to maintain control of the house. I don't get why ppl on here keep using this "he gained house seats" argument. We need to show that R's WON the house to let ppl know it's plausible that Trump won. Which they're doing- but the op argument takes the msm numbers, accepts them and gives a flawed argument that would make it seem like a Trump victory was implausible since the house elections are much closer to the electoral college than the senate.
You're right: this virtually never happens.
The last time someone was elected president for their first term without their party also winning the house AND the senate was in 1884.
Just another example of many showing how implausible it is that Biden actually won the election.
