There are enough votes left in GA for Warnock to win and avoid the runoff.

What does “tougher on crime” mean?


+1

Only one party supported more funding to local police forces and it wasn't the GOP. Only one party wants to get some of the most lethal weaponry off our streets, and it isn't the GOP.

Trump is poison.


Warnock hasn't won yet, so let's not count our chickens.

But the larger point is that I can't believe that Republicans have not dumped Trump yet. It has been obvious for a very long time that he is an anchor around their necks, but they just won't get rid of him. The smart ones like McConnell realize it, and they even had the perfect opportunity to turn on him after Jan. 6, but they inexplicably didn't do it.

I think that depends in part on what happens in AZ, WI and NV. If Ds get two of those, they have senate control no matter what. I think Warnock is a lock in that case because the libertarian voters likely just won’t come out. If the runoff is for control, then a lot of those libertarian voters will shift to Walker.

In 2020 Dems won house popular vote 50.8-47.7. D+3 electorate.

Final tallies aren't in yet but currently R's are winning popular House vote 52.3-45.7 per CNN. R+6 electorate- is the 10 pt swing many have been projecting.

HOWEVER.. Post covid, R's have been flocking to the major "red" states like TX and FL, leading to over performance in those areas (ie DeSantis by 20 when he was expecting to win by 10) but left the previous state more "purple", allowing Dems to win in those areas.


PP here- to add- Bottom line- that pesky electoral college saved Dems butts this year. I suspect we won't hear much from them about eliminating it in the upcoming years.


You apparently don’t know what the electoral college is.



+1 I’m embarrassed for PP!! Omg!


Yes sorry my bad I'm going on 3 hours of sleep with an emerging cold. But my point still stands that there was a 10 pt swing in the popular vote and basically nothing changed in the overall numbers in Congress. Dems can coast on this for 2024 and 2028- the next census isn't until 2030.



Awww, get some sleep and feel better! I’m sorry for my post then. I’m just happy the candidates that participated in the insurrection lost.

Can’t find the link but read 75 down ballot deniers won. Steve Bannon’s little d!ck army.


But, we knew that was going to happen because WaPo said about that many were in heavily GOP areas. The most important victory, where it really counts, is holding them at bay at the gubernatorial and SOS level.






PP agree. Just hoped we could have squashed MAGA at the base. But overall, a great day for America!

How is this hard to understand? It’s party loyalty. Probably how you vote too!

A lot of West Coast votes haven’t been counted. When all the votes are in, Democrats will have more votes nationally.
