With just over five months before the 2022 midterm elections, it's becoming more and more clear that a Republican wave is building out in the country.

On Thursday, the Cook Political Report with Amy Walter, a nonpartisan handicapping service, moved 10 of its House race ratings in favor of Republicans and adjusted its predictions of GOP gains in the fall upward to between 20 and 35 seats.

"Given that President Biden's job approval is underwater in dozens of districts he carried in 2020, any Democrat sitting in a single-digit Biden seat (or a Trump seat) is at severe risk and even a few in seats Biden carried by 10 to 15 points could lose — particularly in 'orphan' states without competitive statewide races driving turnout," wrote David Wasserman

The Cook Political Report now has 35 Democratic seats in its "toss-up" category or worse. It has only 10 Republican seats in those same positions.

That's in keeping with how other political handicapping outlets are assessing the current political moment.
