2022 United States House elections (Lan's Scenario)

The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections were held on November 8, 2022. 
Due to gerrymandering in Republican-controlled states and Democrats failing to turn out their base, Republicans took back control of the House of Representatives, gaining 16 seats. Congressman and Republican leader Kevin McCarthy from California's 23rd congressional district became the Speaker of the House and Congressman Steve Scalise from Louisiana's 1st congressional district became the House majority leader. 
Longtime Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi retired from being a representative, so New York Congressman Hakeem Jefferies from New York's 8th congressional district became the leader of the Democratic Party in the House, becoming the first African-american to become a congressional leader.
