[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Really good analysis of what's going on here. I would rather be a Dem than an R.

+1 We already had the 2022 Midterms and usually the party of the president loses big in the federal elections held immediately following the presidential election. That didn’t happen in 2022. Democrats lost control of the House but just barely and R’s underperformed across the board. I would 100% rather be us than them right now! Yes I know things are different when it comes to Trump vs. any other Republican, but he already lost to Biden once. [/quote]

Democrats will certainly take back the House in 24. But it's a bad map for Democrats in the Senate this election cycle. I don't see how they retain it. It's a really bad map. They'll get it back in 26, but in the meantime....

Polling is not looking good for Biden. He's an elderly geriatric who really shouldn't be in the Oval Office making life and death decisions.

Trump is Trump. Roughly a third of the country subscribes to that insanity. And a third will be enough when Democrats put up a weak candidate and third parties perform strongly.

So, likely result is Trump prez, Republicans take the Senate, and Democrats take back the House.  [/quote]

Plausible, but Trump lost 2020 by over 6 million votes. 2016 was an Electoral College fluke. I'm not convinced Trump can make up the difference. And third-party candidates have traditionally drawn from the Republican candidate. I see much more significant hurdles for Trump.  On the flip side, i think the GOP House could attempt some shenanigans. I think violence is quite likely.[/quote]
