It's 2 seats gained from previous number. Already a majority (51 + Pence). So now a 6 vote (+2 R, -2 D) buffer in case of RINO turncoats.

I've seen "+2" cited a couple of times. I'm not sure if that means two seats gained, or just 2 seats past the threshold for majority, but either way they held control there.
