I'll give him a B. While the GOP did have a good night, I feel that Emmer himself had less to do with it than the candidates he ran, and Elise Stefanik for her recruitment efforts of woman candidates.
But in hindsight there clearly was a missed opportunity to take back the house. They focused too much on defending solidly R seats like NC-08, NC-11, MT-AL, NY-02, TX-10, TX-21, CA-50, C0-03, and AR-02, while writing off seats that they could have easily flipped back, like ME-02, IL-14, MN-02, NY-19, CA-10, VA-07, WI-03, and PA-08.
Still, they held onto all but one of their non-NC seats, and swept all of the top tier offensive targets (MN-07, NM-02, OK-05, SC-01, NY-11, NY-22, IA-01, UT-04, CA-21) and did quite well in the second tier (IA-02, CA-39, CA-48, FL-26, FL-27). Yeah I think I see why Emmer got a second term.
