It’s clear Republicans have enough seats to maintain their majority in the House of Representatives – barely – and once again a few seats in California are still too close to call with thousands of ballots left to be counted. Democrats have picked up at least one seat in California and could possibly grab a few more, but even if the outstanding races all go their way, they’ll still be stuck in the minority for at least two more years. Scott, Marisa and Guy about what happened there and ask the question of how to know when it’s time to retire.

This discussion comes amid rumors that 78-year-old Oakland Congress member Barbara Lee is considering a run for mayor. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
