Good luck plugs. Democrats would have to pick up 25 seats in the House to gain the majority and there are way more Dems that have announced their retirement than there have been Republicans

CAMBRIDGE, Md. —House Democrats will win the House in November, swinging the gavel back into the hands of Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Vice President Biden predicted Friday.
"Nancy, I think, is not going to be remembered just for being the first woman Speaker," Biden said, "She's going to remembered for being the second woman Speaker."
Addressing House Democrats gathered on the Maryland's eastern shore for their annual retreat, Biden said the combination of GOP obstructionism and a strengthening economy will propel the Democrats back into control of the lower chamber after just two years in the minority.
"It's becoming absolutely clear the decisions that we made … are actually working," Biden said, speaking softly because he said he's battling a cold.
The vice president said he'd be focusing his campaign energies on six states — Ohio, Michigan, Iowa, New Hampshire, Florida and his native Pennsylvania — while extending an offer to help any Democrats who asked for it.
