I dont think it is looking to be as good as Republicans were hoping nor as bad as Democrats were worried about

Barely enough new seats to steal the Democracy.

Where have you been? That already happened in 2020.

I guess Maggie Hassan won pretty big in NH, which some said was going to be tight a little while back.

I admit, I'm a bit disappointed. I don't understand Pennsylvania electing a brain-damaged Senator. And I thought Walker would have done better in Georgia.

C'est la vie...

It looks likely to come down to a Georgia runoff for control of the Senate again, lol…

So you thought GA would elect a brain-damaged senator but not PA?

Possibly that could be the battle for the Dems’ 51st.

Even without the senate you’d still get the debt ceiling crisis and endless investigations.

The only thing you’ll miss is not being able to block two years of judicial appointments.

This is interesting. I had no idea that native Americans leaned GOP, notwithstanding our own n=1 sample at TNCR.

I’m disappointed that Chabot lost to the snake Landsman.

I was going to comment a few days ago in the trends thread that it was troubling that the Republican trends had stalled, but figured I was overthinking it…

One thing that hurt them was there wasn’t a closer… No last unifying message…

I would have thought the Addams Family was another good admonition. I was, obviously, wrong.

Alaska will bring R up to 48. (The big question is whether it will be Murkowski)…

Wisconsin: Johnson-R is up by 27K and with the location of the uncounted votes, NYT is leaning towards this going R. This makes 49-R

AZ is going to be a complete clusterfuck. Between the voting machines problem and these particular candidates and just how tight it is looking… NYT is leaning D, so okay, but this will take a while.

Nevada is still being listed as tossup even by NYT. This will be huge…

GA - Runoff, I think. Advantage will go to Walker once the Libertarian is out, but it will be all about the ground game…

Trump will announce his candidacy next week, putting him front and center in the news again. Then that will make 2 consecutive elections that Trump delivers the Senate to democrats via GA.

Rs in October: “If they indict Trump there will be riots in the streets”

Rs in November: “What the hell’s taking Garland so long?”
