  Unless the GOP has a lot of defections or they all catch a new strain of COVID and die en mass , the GOP will control the House until the end of 2024.   They will get nothing done over those two years but they will have control.
context: Natural Causes: Something that surprised me is how often members of congress aren't able to complete their terms. Historically, ~2 Representatives die in office every year -way more than I realized. Such deaths are unlikely to occur in competitive swing districts, but with a majority of 3-4, temporarily losing just a single member could be devastating. >
  
  That's grim enough that it doesn't bear serious consideration.
  I'd much prefer a Grinch Who Stole Christmas ending where some conservatives are finally like "I'm tired of being a cynical shithead and ruining everything.  I'm getting old and I want to experience love and generosity and actual civic service before I die."
