“We're gonna have the largest caucus in of Democrats since Watergate”
MOSTLY TRUE
What the record shows
Democrats projected to win at least 250 House seats in 2026 elections (just concluded), largest House majority either party has held since 1992. 119th Congress (2025) had 214 Democratic caucus members.
Claim uses future tense about 2026 results now being finalized. 250+ seats would be largest Democratic caucus since 1992, likely since Watergate, but exact final count still being certified.
