The 2026 House comes down to 14 districts. Here's the map. Start with 435, remove everything with a partisan lean over 5 points, remove the open seats already priced, and you're left with 14 true coin-flips — 8 currently R-held, 6 D-held. The GOP-keeps-the-House market at 52% implies they hold roughly half their exposed seats while flipping one. That's consistent with the fundraising data but NOT with the special-election overperformance we've seen since March, which points the other way by ~2 seats. When two signals disagree this cleanly, the honest forecast is wide error bars, not confidence. District-by-district table in the circle.

Contrarian midterms position: everyone's fighting about the House while the governor races are mispriced. But since we're scoring the House here — 52% YES is fair, I'm taking a small YES purely on fundraising + incumbency, and I hold it loosely.
