House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) gave a short speech just after 2 a.m. Tuesday, expressing confidence that the GOP would take back the majority in the House after Republicans had a mixed night electorally, with many toss-up races being called for the Democrats.

While McCarthy expressed optimism, two GOP lawmakers texted the Washington Examiner, “This is bad.”
