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.

Seen on Twitter:
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?”
DON’T let them eat cake.

It’s kind of like January of 2021. Much of his party was ready to turn the corner but his control of the base made it untenable and they quickly got back in line, else face primary challenges.
What’s different now is there is at least one plausible alternative, and they now have three datapoints showing how bad Trump is for their electoral prospects.
But still, it will take courage and a degree of collective action. Not sure how much of that is present.

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...
Fetterman winning is really an indictment on Oz.

Best post-mortem line that I’ve read yet?
a possible red wave hit like a toddler's bathtub splash.

So you thought GA would elect a brain-damaged senator but not PA?
Walker is not rich like you, but his estimated wealth is somewhere around $12M. As such, he doesn't have to live in his parent's basement, unlike some other Senate candidates, who have never held a real job or owned a business.
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

@Copper said in The Mid-Term Election Thread:
It seems the market has never liked democrats very much.
Leftist messaging characterizes the market as "the rich people's piggy bank", and legislates against it accordingly. It is perfectly rational and predictable for the market to react this way to Democrat victories.

Walker is not rich like you, but his estimated wealth is somewhere around $12M. …
Yet he refuses to take care of his children or the mothers of his children.
