Nevada!! Dems retain control of the Senate! 🎉

Toldja.

Cool. Warnock's re-election got much easier. People who thought they had to come out to get control of the senate and really didn't like Walker can now stay home.

I hope that cowardly turtle starts packing up his office tomorrow.

 

thrilled for everyone in the US!

And we're thrilled at having at least a 20-40% chance of keeping the House!

Even if we don't though, with these slim numbers the GOP is not going to be able to function in a majority. They will be infighting til 2024.

@vee do you think Pelosi will stay on as leader? Either way things turn out I think they need her

Like I said on the last page, she is the only one skilled enough to work these margins with or without the House and still pass legislation, and I absolutely think she can pass legislation in either scenario. I am all for new blood when it is ready and when the numbers are less razor-thin, which is not this cycle.

 

 

I apologize to any and all I may have annoyed with my gloomy posts on Monday night.

I am beyond thrilled they were unwarranted!

SO glad we keep a blue Senate. Now to just get Warnock over the line so we won't need Manchin/Sinema as heavily...

Warnock's going to take it. But yes, we need to stay juiced.

 

 

The Associated Press "VoteCast" analysis said "Nationally .... 7 in 10 voters said the Supreme Court’s decision on Roe v. Wade was an important factor in their midterm decisions. It also showed the reversal was broadly unpopular. And roughly 6 in 10 said they favor a law guaranteeing access to legal abortion nationwide."

No need to apologize. I was no better - probably worse. I could say well I had a feeling, but I let my instincts be swamped by the media and online culture and so on. I'm glad there were a number of people here who had clearer heads. 

And absolutely about Warnock. Hopefully people won't stay home now that the Senate is won. I don't trust Sinema if we stay at 50.
