The third run was supposed to be different -- a more disciplined candidate with a streamlined operation, running again as an outsider. But the reality of former President Trump's latest bid for the presidency is, so far, eerily familiar for Republicans.
ABC News now projects that Republicans will control 221 seats in the next Congress, with a possibility that they gain a 222nd, pending the result in a California race where the GOP candidate leads by a few hundred votes. The final tally could be an exact mirror image of the 2020 results, where Democrats walked away with a 222-213 advantage.
Deals will be cut, including agreements for some members to potentially vote "present" or skip the vote for speaker altogether. One of the best things McCarthy has going for him at this point is that no other Republican has a realistic path to the speakership.

Raphael Warnock and Republican Herschel Walker.
Warnock was one of those Georgians taking advantage of weekend voting, casting his ballot on Sunday alongside faith and community leaders after waiting in line for about an hour.
