Midterm Elections Thread: official, discuss midterm elections, Part 2

Democrats could still surprise and keep the House.

Yeah, not holding my breath on that one.

I might move to Arizona. Seems pretty cool

From David Brooks:

With Spanberger pulling ahead in Va.-7 with almost all the votes counted, confirming the general trend of the night — a status quo election — Republicans have to be asking: If we can’t produce a red wave with superhigh inflation and the Democratic president’s low approval ratings, when can we produce a red wave? Democrats have been getting their recriminations in over the last few weeks. Now it may be the Republicans’ turn.

Love it!

I told my mom that Blake Masters was too slimy to win.

According to Nate Cohn, the Republicans are underperforming everywhere except Florida.

I would hate fuck Blake Masters...

Fuck. Vance won.

JD Vance wins Senate Race. Sucks!!

Never allowed myself to think that Ohio was winnable.

[quote]From David Brooks:

The only shithead whose view means even less to me than Brooks, is Bret Swine Stephens.

Same, R11. Ohio is as red as Florida.

Do NOT come to Ohio. We have become a right wing hellhole. Our Governor, who just won, has repeatedly announced he is against LGBT marriage and equality.

Ohio was never winnable. The Senate there is split one democrat, and one Republican and that's the best we're probably going to do.

I live Half the year in South carolina, and have the year Ohio. The fervency of Trump support and rural Ohio is unbelievable. There's nothing like that in the south. Meanwhile, the cities keep trending bluer and bluer.

Kansas just sent a lesbian Native American representative, Sharice Davids, back to the House.

Kansas.

The House is definitely still in play.

Worst midterm performance by a party out of power in 2 decades, 3rd worst in 100 years. Fuck you, Republicans.

The NYT needle is now back to forecasting a 49/51 Senate.

I've been purposely not watching tonight because 2020 gave me heart palpitations. I just couldn't put myself through that again. Thank you, bitches, for bringing me all the news.

The country may not be lost yet.

Gee, maybe Glenn shouldn't have made that movie humanizing JD.

Here's the issue I have with the take of it being a bad night for Republicans. In the end, if Republicans win the Senate by whatever number (GOP will win the House), then that's all that matters. McConnell is going to stop Biden's judges and all that.

[quote] Kansas just sent a lesbian Native American representative, Sharice Davids, back to the House.

Great, but not a pick-up.

Walker inching uncomfortably close to 50%

Walker down to 49.2. Run-off coming

Wow, the Barnes / Johnson race is close. Even if Johnson wins, if it’s razor thin its gotta send a message.

I wanted Tim Ryan to win Ohio but if he had won he would vote like another Joe Manchin and you all would have hated him. Still better than Vance but you would have complained about him like you do about Manchin.

And not a loss, R22.

To orchestrate a wave or a wipeout, these are the kinds of seats Republicans needed to win easily.

And they're getting romped on by Dems.

I just tweeted to GOP loser Hung Cao:

[quote]Wasn't able to vote cause I was still waiting on verificatia of Hungness. Please send pics in DM.

Think I'll get banned by Leon Skum?

R26 SHUT UP

Newson reelected in CA.

Nate Cohn:

[quote]Fetterman outrunning Biden just about everywhere in Pennsylvania. Our estimate now leans Democratic

R24 49.5. The idiot will flip the Senate.

Have libertarians ever won any race for anything anywhere? Same for the greens. All they do is play spoiler for this or that party.

I see Beto lost, that's too bad. I'll never understand why so many people vote for the worst assholes. I'm just glad that Maggie Hassan won but am dismayed by how many voted for that fucking nut Bolduc.

From 538 blog:

"Let’s check in on the Kentucky anti-abortion ballot measure. We have 64 percent of the expected vote reporting, and the abortion-rights side is still in the lead with 53 percent, while the anti-abortion rights side has 47 percent. The abortion-rights side of the amendment continues to run well ahead of the Democratic Senate candidate, signaling that some voters are crossing party lines to oppose this ballot measure, which would effectively end all legal opposition to abortion bans in Kentucky."

So can someone please explain again what outstanding Georgia votes are coming from Dem areas? This doom and gloom may all be for naught.

Has anyone ever seen this pick of Boebert before?

She's a cunt, but I'm so jealous!

Stacey Abrams lost in Georgia. How depressing is this!

[quote] 49.5. The idiot will flip the Senate.

The informed wisdom has been that whichever party won 2 of 3 out of GA, PA & NV would control the Senate. So a loss in Georgia, now or in a run-off, doesn't have to be dispositive.

DNC chair Jamie Harrison was rarely out front. That organization sorely needs productive, vigorous, and proficient leadership.

I will not give Beto O'Rourke another nickel, ever.

Did Kari Lake win?

Abrams was never expected to win.

Kunt

Yea, florida, Texas and Georgia is depressing.

But, I’m trying to stay positive and so many areas that stayed blue and few small surprises.

[quote] Why was Mark Kelly hounding me for money when he looks like a shoe in.

It's shoo-in!

Biden has to give Beto and Abrams spots in his administration so they can prove their managing ability

R42 I was wondering that, too. I hope the wicked witch lost.

Who is this independent fool running against Walker and Warnock? WHY?

HOCHUL WINS IN NY!!!

Dems flip OH13.

[quote]So can someone please explain again what outstanding Georgia votes are coming from Dem areas? This doom and gloom may all be for naught.

I think Atlanta area.

Hochul re-elected.

R42 No and not looking good

[quote] I would hate fuck Blake Masters...

Make sure you're on PrEP and have some antibiotics handy.

Kathy Hochul wins in NY.

Yes NY!!

Fuck you, Zeldin, your billionaire backer, and your signs everywhere

R42, about 47% of the vote is in and she’s trailing Hobbs.

My choice for Congress was two Republicans and a Libertarian. I voted for the the incumbent Republican because Libertarians are assholes.

Hochul thing was stupid to begin with. She was never in any danger of losing

[quote] Hochul re-elected.

She was never elected in the first place!

CNN must be in shambles, I refuse to watch them anymore, but all I saw was one news story after another about how Dems were in so much trouble and about to lose.

They play CNN in the lobby at my job.

Trafalgar put out a poll last week claiming NY governor was tied race. It wasn't particularly close.. They were way, way off this election.

Oz is catching up—Both below 50%

Yea! Shapiro won!

Gay Dem Sean Patrick Mahoney trailing in NY

FTLOG, get rid of Boebert!

Is Chase Oliver the 2016 Bernie Sanders?

Projection: Republican control of the House is sealed at 202.

Biden impeachment proceedings commence on Jan 2, 2023.

California and west coast polls are closing. There are some problems with dems keeping their us house seat in some polls, even in California.

[quote]CNN must be in shambles, I refuse to watch them anymore, but all I saw was one news story after another about how Dems were in so much trouble and about to lose.

No, they were fairly balanced.

Have long suspected that Trafalgar just guesses the numbers and in a red year they get lucky.

Whew. At least at this point! Krazi Lake's defeat may require me to reevaluate my atheism.

The NYT needle is now back to forecasting a 50/50 Senate.

[Quote] Projection: Republican control of the House is sealed at 202. Biden impeachment proceedings commence on Jan 2, 2023.

And let’s hope this pisses off Dems enough to show up in droves in 2024

I am watching MSNBC and am seeing a wave of good news for Dems.

Especially plausible Democratic pickups in the House.

I think this shows that Democrats will need to run a Hispanic candidate in Florida.

Ryan has conceded

[quote]Biden impeachment proceedings commence on Jan 2, 2023.

Just for theatrics. No chance of the Senate removing him.

Steve Korny-nacky is getting rubbing his stiffy against the map.

A lesson learned in this...polls are very unreliable. Don't stress out about them.

R65 Fetterman has a lot of dem votes still out. He's fine. Philly will save the day once again

If Lake loses, it better be the last time the fucking media gives that stupid bitch oxygen. I don't want to hear her fucking name, I don't want to hear that that cunt's fraud claims. Let these people shrivel up and die.

NYT needle thinks 88% chance of Fetterman winning. 63% chance of Kelly winning and Hobbs is running close to him.

Nevada only starts releasing vote counts after the last voter has voted.

Sean Patrick Maloney. DCCC chair to lose his seat in Congress. Good. He is a charlatan.

I still think Fetterman will eke out a win. I’d go as far as to say that Oz being an Eagle’s fan and not knowing the Steelers had a bye week but him in western PA.

Democrats are not keeping the house...

If the Dems hold the Senate (&, even better, the House), I'm going to want to check out Fox News's election night coverage on YouTube.

Her speech will hilarious. SNL worthy.

CNN calls Ohio for fucking Vance. Ohio is the new Florida.

R82, I live my life never giving a shit about a single poll. I love you polltroll, but polls S U C K.

[quote] I will not give Beto O'Rourke another nickel, ever.

We don't care what you do nickel boy

Interesting that many polls underestimated republicans in 2020; now it looks like they underestimated democrats. Many of these races democrats are winning they weren't supposed to win, or, win as easily. Case in point; NY, where Hochul is breezing to an easy win, but the some of the polls actually had Zeldin ahead.

At this point the Senate is still a toss-up and we won't know the final result until Georgia (which could easily end in a run-off) and Nevada, are in.... Cortez Masto was trailing by a point or two in the polls, but again, if tonight proves anything at all, it's that pollsters really don't know how to poll voters.

Arizona blowout! Kunty Kari won't be able to be our "worst frickin' nightmare!" What a cunt, if I ever see her -- I'll let her know how I feel :)

R87 He's running ahead of Biden. I think it'll be pretty solid

I guess that Hochul thread didn't age well...

[quote] If Lake loses

Any chance she'd graciously concede?!

The polls may be right. What they can't measure is turnout.

Show me a Democrat who could have done better in Texas than Beto?

NC Senate unchanged, goes to the Rethug.

Pollsters readjust their methodology after every election. Just because Republicans had an undercount in 2020 didn't mean they would in 2022. Seems like pollsters may have over adjusted.

[quote] Sean Patrick Maloney. DCCC chair to lose his seat in Congress. Good. He is a charlatan.

At Datalounge, we refer to gay charlatans as "stunt queens."

But f*ck you for saying it.

R70 What? That's not Rep control...

A district in Kansas redrawn to be more favorable to Republicans was still won by its Democratic incumbent, Sharice Davids.

Great Latina Hope, Mayra Flores, looks like she's going to get turned out on her ass after just a few months.

What about Mark whatshisname in AZ? The insurrectionist asshole. Is he winning?

Hell no, R97. She's a bitch like Trump

The high quality non-partisan polls were good. Split Ticket made an aggregator of just those polls and that average looks very good.

It's the partisan polling that sucked.

The delusion of Democrats.

Georgia going to a run-off and Warnock might actually do better without Stacy around

Democrats have a chance to keep the House. Holy FUCK!

All the headwinds against them, in a midterm year, the party out of power is having one of the worst performances in 100 years. ‘24 is going to be an actual Blue tsunami.

Given how Fetterman is performing relative to to Biden right now he is on track to win by 4-4.5 points.

R104 AZ looks pretty good for dems in general

Why anyone thought Beto could win is confounding. He was such a suck-up. "I wanna go around and meet every single citizen because I CARE."

So who are the Dem rising stars? Shapiro?

Warnock and Walker tied at 49%

[quote] It's the partisan polling that sucked.

The real mistake is paying attention to the averaging of polls from Real Clear Politics & 538.

oh yes, come on Warnock.

Trump's picks didn't seem to fare well...

A terrible night for Trump. Republicans are sick of him. It is possible Dems hold on to the Senate. an amazing night for Dems.

I think the polls were intentionally set to make it look like a Dem washout SO DEMS WOULD SHOW UP.

I need to get to sleep but I want to see AZ called for Kelly & Hobbs!

Wonder if Warnock can pull it off? Lot of votes around Atlanta out

R112, Stacey Abrams, natch!

Ha kind of happy about Maloney. Only because he used to employ DL favourite Kevin Sessums as a speechwriter

I'm trying not to do this...but my hopes have escalated. Rein it in though...until it's really over.

[quote]but the some of the polls actually had Zeldin ahead.

Not a single rational NYer thought he had a chance in hell. It doesn't matter if you dislike Hochul, a MAGAt wouldn't have a chance in hell here in NY.

It's very close between Walker and Warnock as well as Fetterman and Oz. Those two races should be no brainers but it's the voters who have no brains.

It's only an amazing night for Dems if they have the Senate. In the end, all that matters is control .

Hopefully we'll call Boebert a LOSER soon...

Scary Lake will go to Fix News. I am so happy that count is losing.

People are fed up with MAGA. Voter turnout is really encouraging.

^ cunt

Can't someone answer this? Why is an independent running in the Walker/Warnok race? Could he help make Walker the WINNER?

AZ, if you pull this off, you no longer join TX and FL as shithole states. OH will replace AZ as part of the Axis of Dipshits.

[quote]Oz is catching up—Both below 50%

MSNBC just changed their characterization from “too close to call” to “too early to call, but John Fetterman is leading.” That’s significant.

R125 Don't look at the current voting numbers. Fetterman's chances of winning are very high now because the remaining vote is good for him.

She's getting smashed right now. She brought too much crazy

R128, she is good on air. And she'd eat less than Keillor.

Since trump's picks are basically falling flat, I wonder if that'll influence his decision to run in '24... One can only hope.

PA seems like a done deal.

Dems need to win AZ, Nevada and Georgia to retain control of the Senate. Very possible it will be waiting for a run off election in Georgia to determine Senate control.

NYT needle has John Fetterman's chances at 90% now.

R130 the Libertarian? No, he fucks with Walker not Warnock. Libertarians are just republicans

I would thin DeSatan's performance is get start getting the Republicans behind him

I wonder who Andrew Cuomo voted for Governor of NY.

R136 Of course it won't, which is great because it means the republicans will implode.

I bet Wes Moore is going to be a huge star. He will be a candidate for president in 2 or 6 years.

I think J.D. Vance will govern differently from how he ran. He just doesn't strike me as a true ideologue. But I also think he is cute so I might be biased.

Feterman got this. And good night for DeSantis. Bad night for Trump

Does anyone have Boobert's current standing?

I still think Mandela Barnes may pull this off. Milwaukee is only reporting 64% of the vote.

[Quote] Sean Patrick Maloney. DCCC chair to lose his seat in Congress. Good. He is a charlatan.

Westchester, the big Dem stronghold, still hasn’t reported yet. Maloney may still pull it out.

Oregon governor race with 51% reported. Tina 47%, Drazan 43.2%, Johnson 9.1%.

Fucking Johnson.

Yep r140, DeSantis huge margin in Florida on a disappointing R night is going to get people taking him seriously.

No matter control, horrific performance by republicans. Hysterical!

Republicans controlling Congress will play well for Democrats in ‘24. They barely would do it in a midterm. Wow.

It looks to me like outstanding votes in Georgia are in Warnock areas, aren't they?

Shapiro destroyed Mastriano. Good on you, PA!

Maloney in trouble.

Josh Shapiro is sexy.

Mark Kelly is going to win. Blake Masters is running behind the crazy woman

R151 They are. Big counties too

There are many close House seats in NY which is bad for Dems. Hoping they stay blue.

Whitmer officially projected to win reelection as Michigan governor

[quote] Dems need to win AZ, Nevada and Georgia to retain control of the Senate.

If they have PA, & they likely have AZ, they just need to win either NV or GA to maintain the 50/50, status quo.

How fucking old is chuck Grassley?

Just go onto Facebook or Instagram and look at any of your deranged republican friends' latest posts. Already screaming election fraud for Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

I"m seeing quite a few "SELECTED NOT ELECTED" and am seriously considering turning in one of my Instagram followers, who is a friend of a friend that I followed back. Absolutely deranged Q nonsense and constant threats of taking things into is own his, along with this red wave that is coming.

Deeply sick nation - the only solution is mass institutionalization in comfy, warm padded cells and Thorazine drips.

Murray holds her seat!

[quote] It looks to me like outstanding votes in Georgia are in Warnock areas, aren't they?

redoubt = recount

R148, I think they already called OR for Tina Kotek

Reporters are tweeting that Kevin McCarthy hasn't shown up at his own big GOP rager tonight. It's just a bunch of young volunteers milling about. Poor Kev.

I hold mine as often as possible, r161.

R159, he's a very fit 37!

Senators Patty Murray & Ron Wyden re-elected.

That is a huge relief R152! That guy is a monster.

Can someone tell me the situation with the seat in MI where Peter Meir (Sp?) was pushed out for the MAGAt?

Don’t hesitate r160. Turn him in

Although it won’t do anything, it’ll make u feel better

It appears Wiley Nickel has won his Congressional seat here in North Carolina! That is a huge pickup for the Dems!

If Fetterman wins I am going to cry. To get up there and debate that crook when he knew he was going to get torn apart for being disabled, that took real courage. Pennsylvania will be lucky to have him representing them.

It is official = Glenn Close has endorsed!!

Claire McCaskill said she’s hearing good things about Arizona and Nevada, in which case a GA runoff would be superfluous for who controls the Senate — and would sane Republicans bother to hold their noses and vote for the dunderhead if that’s so?

I was so despairing earlier - maybe an hour ago. Now, I feel much, much better.

They should just call it for Fetterman

Wes Moore has great potential. And he is fucking sexy too.

[quote] Can someone tell me the situation with the seat in MI where Peter Meir (Sp?) was pushed out for the MAGAt?

The Dem's in the lead.

You are right of course, miscounted there r158.

People need to understand that the MAGAt bullshit doesn't go over well with the overwhelming majority of this country. They don't want fascist, election-denying swine in leadership. People want to be able to vote. With the exception of complete idiots in certain districts, the overall states are telling Trump and Bannon to go fuck themselves.

Who’s winning in Palm Springs?

Can Cunt Bo Bo really lose?

Is it true that valid cunt, Lauren Boebert, is losing?

Thanks, R178!

According to CNN, there are so many counties still out that Walker/Warnock can go either way.

Won’t be finished tonight.

[quote]Can someone tell me the situation with the seat in MI where Peter Meir (Sp?) was pushed out for the MAGAt?

The Democrat leads 51.7% to 45.1% with 22% of the vote in.

"@lxeagle17

Tony Evers looking more and more likely to win in #WIGov, to my eye. I think Ron Johnson hangs on, though it'll be a lot closer than virtually everyone thought."

Me too R175! Me too!

R183 For now, but probably not for long

[quote] Since trump's picks are basically falling flat, I wonder if that'll influence his decision to run in '24... One can only hope.

I've been in quiet contemplation about this for weeks. I think Democrats fare better in 2024 if Trump runs. His crazy got Biden elected. If Biden had to go up against a fat but seemingly stable MAGAt -- like DeSantis -- I would be worried.

If GA goes to run off, hopefully those who say out these midterms will show up to vote

Thanks to you, too, R186!

We live in Nevada, and my husband and I both voted for Catherine Cortez-Masto for Senate, of course. A bunch of members of Adam Laxalt's family (her opponent's family) even endorsed her over him about a month ago. That had to have hurt his feelings. Fuck his feelings.

The polls closed 90 minutes ago but Nevada still hasn't posted any numbers yet. If interested, you can keep up with it at this page:

I think the gop won in FL because of DeSantis’ popularity and how much everyone is sick of Crist.

I wonder if in a future election with two different candidates, that GOP would easily win

[quote] How fucking old is chuck Grassley?

Nooooo, R189. You mean she'll win? Yuck!

R163 it's Tina 45.2 to Drazan 44.9 with 55% of the vote counted. I haven't seen anyone call it yet.

[quote] Tony Evers looking more and more likely to win in #WIGov, to my eye. I think Ron Johnson hangs on, though it'll be a lot closer than virtually everyone thought."

If Johnson holds on, this is on the Dems. They nominated the one candidate he could beat.

No way will Biden run in 2024. He's struggling as it is...

Boebert is down by 3 full points with 75% of the the votes counted. Hahaha!

I just blocked someone upthread for saying he thought fat-face JD Vance was cute. Was election night always this harrowing?! I need some sleep.

To answer my question from the first thread:

I don’t think DeSantis will play well Peoria.

He’s too smarmy EyeTalian

If DeSantis ends up being the Republican nominee in 2024 for President, I hope the Democrats finance a write in campaign for Trump. Trump has enough crazy supporters that some of them write his name in rather than vote for anyone else.

What’s Kornacki saying about Boebert’s chances, anything? From whence do the outstanding votes come?

Doesn't Laxalt live in Virginia? He's a DC/VA guy. Why would anyone vote for him? What connection did he even have to the state beyond his father?

With late gains and still uncounted red counties for both Oz and Walker, the needle giving Republicans 53 seats now.

[quote] Boebert is down by 3 full points with 75% of the the votes counted. Hahaha!

But where are the remaining votes from?

Why have Arizona results slowed so much?

That goddamn needle should have been banned long ago.

You Californians keep moving to Arizona and Nevada please.

[quote] With late gains and still uncounted red counties for both Oz and Walker, the needle giving Republicans 53 seats now.

Not the NYT needle. It's still at 50/50.

Gassley IA, will be in office until he's 95....if he doesn't die first.

R206 The needle can fuck itself since Oz isn't winning and Walker isn't winning tonight

[quote] Doesn't Laxalt live in Virginia? He's a DC/VA guy. Why would anyone vote for him? What connection did he even have to the state beyond his father?

R208 because the crazy lady is screaming FRAUD on the streets and they can't continue until they can tase her

R199 Obama should be his running mate as VP. There's no law against it.

Trump has already taken swipes at DeSantis. They will tear each other apart. Trump is not going to stand back and let anybody else take that nomination. Absolutely nobody.

R206, the magic needle is showing 50/50, and leaning Democratic.

Yeah, I really don’t see the point of a needle that swings back and forth all night. It adds no value.

R206 is a troll.

JD Vance? UnFucking Believable. Maybe I should just sell my house and leave Ohio. It is too rigged.

The Republicans on CNN look pretty glum. Muted at a minimum.

R219 Refresh your browser

Ooo he cute @ R214

The NYTimes needle has Fetterman at over 90% r206.

I have a lot of family in Ohio, r221. I refuse to even visit. Can't stand them.

The needle never swung. That poster was trolling.

Bobitch is gonna win.

Dems need 3 seats. . Fetterman, Kelly and hopefully Nevada and Georgia won't even matter. Think dems keep the senate

Bo Hines is going to lose!!!

R206 You're high or a troll or a high troll. The NYT needle has had it 50/50 for an hour, and increasingly the needle leans to Dem control of Senate.

[quote] Obama should be his running mate as VP. There's no law against it.

Doesn't the VP have to be constitutionally eligible to be president?

r217, I love that DiSatan is the new it boy. I want him and Trump in a primary that will bleed. Tear each other apart. Then when Disantis gets the nom. Trump goes ballistic and refuses to accept the results. Runs Independent. Splits Maga votes and we sail in with anyone.

We won’t know for a while if Fetterman wins for a day

[quote] You Californians keep moving to Arizona and Nevada please.

You're welcome.

-- California, the Sunshine State

I eat shit.

I have to say, I'm just so proud of AZ not being as crazy as I thought!

If Boebert HOPEFULLY loses, it will be in part because of scary polls like this...

CNN gives it to Hochul. "She took over from disgraced governor Andrew Cuomo." Ouch.

[Quote] Doesn't the VP have to be constitutionally eligible to be president?

He can always become president again if he’s VP and the President dies. The law is about being elected Prez more than twice

North Carolina's Governor (a Dem) kept his veto power by one vote!

Bye-bye Bo!

How is Kari Lake holding up?

“Refresh your browser,” says the troll whose browser clearly is the one in need of a refreshment.

R235 Prop 13 has kept CA property taxes lower than most other states. Oh, and CA has the fourth largest economy in the world, just passing Germany. It also has a large budget surplus.

Warnock actually looking good. Walker is ahead but he got a vote dump while Warnock actually has a lot of votes out

R243 She ded

Bobert has nothing to fear. The remaining 20+ % of the vote is mostly hers.

The way NY Dems redrew the fucking map was so stupid. They could've fucked with Stefanik's district and instead fucked themselves.

[quote]Does anyone have Boobert's current standing?

She's falling farther behind.

Ded?

Bo Hines was supposed to be the new Madison Cawthorn.

oops the needle put Wisconsin back in play.

DiSatan and Trump need to fight it out in a huge swimming pool of mud. Just going at it. May the best pig win.

Wiley Nickel is my new Congressman!!

[quote]The Republicans on CNN look pretty glum. Muted at a minimum.

It was an interesting conversation. They were pretty much saying that Trump cost the party winnable seats with his awful candidates and that Republicans need to wise up and purge Trump.

[Quote] The way NY Dems redrew the fucking map was so stupid. They could've fucked with Stefanik's district and instead fucked themselves.

A judge overturned the Dem map and allowed a GOP sympathetizer to redraw it

The best part of the Dems holding the Senate is getting all those judges through quick and out seating tRump's picks.

[quote] He can always become president again if he’s VP and the President dies. The law is about being elected Prez more than twice

I don't think that's correct.

What’s happening in Staten Island

I didn't know that, R256. that's bullshit!

Who in their right mind is voting for Herschel Walker?

Let me rephrase that. Who the fuck is voting for Herschel Walker?

The Dems are going to have to Feinstein a whip devoted only to her.

Vance has such a punchable face.

R250 she's losing. enjoy her on fox news soon I suppose

[quote]the needle giving Republicans 53 seats now.

What "needle"? Your source, please.

You're dead wrong r202. The Midwest still very much lives Trump and supports DeSantis.

[quote]Republicans need to wise up and purge Trump.

For far worse and more dangerous Republicans.

Why the fuck would anyone vote for Herschel Walker?

R265, that OP is a troll. Never happened.

Politics are such a joke in this county. I don't understand how the republican idiots, Greene, Rubio, Gatez, get re-elected. People are so dumb. I voted but I pretty much stopped caring.

Where’s Kari Lake?

Josh Shapiro can get it. I would totally bend over and present hole for that man.

It still sucks, R259. I'm in Brooklyn and Max Rose lost because we're tethered to that shithole borough. My district is the only (R) in all of NYC because of that trash heap borough.

R249, hopefully that'll continue, but there's still 27% of the vote to count.

R271 she's getting trounced currently

Democrats now have a 50/50 chance of retaining the House. Fuck yeah!

[quote] Where’s Kari Lake?

Hiding with a butcher knife in Katie Hobb's closet.

Can someone in Virginia explain why Luria lost?

Kari Lake is missing....

[quote] What’s happening in Staten Island

She defeated Rose again and is re-elected.

What’s “Ded”?

R281 how old are some of you. it's dead

Kari Lake is speaking in tongue’s and writhing on the floor like a possessed ferret.

Catherine Cortez-Masto and Adam Laxalt have been pretty much tied this whole election season. Laxalt was the Attorney General of Nevada from 2015 to 2019, but I think that's the only elected office he's ever had. His grandfather, the late Paul Laxalt, was a U.S. Senator, and was the Governor of Nevada. I'm not sure where Adam Laxalt lives now. His opponent in this election, Catherine Cortez-Masto, who is the incumbent Senator, was the Nevada Attorney General before Laxalt. Members of Laxalt's family recent endorsed Cortez-Masto instead of him!

Maybe Bo Hines will do cripple-porn with Madison Cawthorn.

[quote] she's getting trounced currently

Is what Lauren Boebert's pimp says when Ted Cruz calls asking to schedule a session.

Bill Maher on Kimmel.....Now...

Dem House gain in North Carolina!

How can a liberal state like Vermont elect a Republican Governor?

Steve Kornacki has a nice bulge in those khakis

JD Vance wins Ohio senate race defeating Tim Ryan.

Oh well...

They didn’t r289

She'll be perfect for Fux Nuz...^^

MSNBC projects Repugs will take 219 seats in the House … but their margin of error is plus or minus 13 seats. 218 is a majority. They also say we won’t know the outcome tonight.

Loving Kornacki's bulge.

Dems flip NC13

Making fun of the party that won? Oh, my sides. CNN has no viewers.

Desantis is absolutely disgusting politically.

But the whore in me imagines he's packing something like this and the whore always wins.

Yes, I hate him, but would be his sex slave in a heartbeat.

Nah. Fux will be vetoed by Tucker the Pedo. She'll go elsewhere or to the morning shitshow.

It's more a pooch than a bulge, r299.

Bye, cunt Karamo!

That's very important for NC r241. The governor's veto is the only thing keeping that state from going crazy, they would definitely have banned abortion if they could override it.

[quote] They didn’t [R289]

Vermont re-elected its liberal republican governor. Liberal states like Massachusets & Maryland have had liberal republicans as governor the last 8 years.

His pants need to be tighter so we can see his briefs line.

This is a bloodbath ... for Trump-backed candidates and acolytes.

R291, thanks for the hour-old breaking news!

MSNBC gave several possibilities; nothing is clear as of yet.

How are the election-denying Secretary of State candidates doing across the country?

That's a crazy looking mushroom R302..

I'm pretty sure the VT governor is a lot like Larry Hogan in MD, that's why it was OK he was a Republican. He's not a MAGAt.

That awkward moment when the Moderates realize all they got by voting for Republicans will be a Hunter Biden conviction....Inflation will still be here this time next year and so will uncontrollable crime in big cities--Republicans don't fix anything unless it involves giving rich people freebies.

Warnock just caught up to within 1000 votes of walker.

R302 From what I've heard he's all potatoes and no meat.

MI SOS Benson won!

Crime is not uncontrollable in major cities. Republicans are lying about crime stats.

[quote] How are the election-denying Secretary of State candidates doing across the country?

It looks like Michelle Lujan Grisham will be re-elected governor of New Mexico. I'm sure plenty of people are going fucking nuts over that.

Vt's R governor is pretty centrist. When they legalized pot one of his priorities was bringing black entrepreneurs into the retail business because who'd been fucked over more by drug laws than blacks?

The takeaway from this election is to ignore the media and the polls

Wow, the issue really WAS abortion

Lil Marco at r325

How's Andrea Mitchell doing tonight? We need an elder check on that old broad.

[quote]Wow, the issue really WAS abortion

And/or democracy.

I guess another message is, if you are the Democratic Party, don't run a black woman in the South.

[quote] MI SOS Benson won!

But the crazy MAGAt running for AG - against an incumbent, no less - is periously close to winning.

I hope Josh Harder wins out in CA9.

Kornacki's bulge is the reason to watch MSNBC tonight.

Diaper Don hinted on his shitposting site today that he's got highly personal dirt on DeSantis. Let the games begin!

[quote]How's Andrea Mitchell doing tonight? We need an elder check on that old broad.

She's sticking by her prediction of Dukakis winning by +15.

[quote]Why the fuck would anyone vote for Herschel Walker?

Because MAGAts/evangelicals/gun nuts are so determined to "own the Libs!" that they'd elect a slab of bacon if it had an (R) next to its name.

The media did what they always do: Make the Republicans look like they're going to "DESTROY" every Democrat -- even in friggin' NY.

I still don't get the split ticket voting thing. It's an antiquated notion and people aren't voting on policy.

The proposal to protect abortion in Michigans constitution passes.

Rick Caruso and Karen Bass pretty much tied with 12% of the vote if you are interested in that mess

Kornacki is the reason I’m tuned into CNN.

I like Kornacki’s ass

Wow. Gay Dem Sean Patrick Maloney is losing his house race.

If the judge in florida and the judge in NY had changed places, the Dems would have held the house. But noooo... they got the good judge and we got the bad one.

How do we know abortion WAS the issue?

The media, especially the NY Times, from what I've seen, really does need to confront how the red wave over the economy they fully predicted did not happen. Hoping readers give them an earful tomorrow.

Don’t hate me, but I like Joy’s commentary

[quote] Crime is not uncontrollable in major cities.

Philly is a major city, hon.

Maloney still have a huge favorable area outstanding that is very Democrat.

It’s going to be VERY embarrassing now for Trump to announce he is running when he actually harmed Republicans. And he is a fool already threatening DeSantis. Poor Donny is straight out of luck now.

[quote] Kornacki's bulge is the reason to watch MSNBC tonight.

No love for Joy's blonde wig? And what happened to Nicolle? Did she go home to ride Michael Schmidt's 10" hog?

Joy seems like a comedian.

Herschel hits all points for the racists..

In NY, lots of state level races usually stay leaning GOP until the next day when the Westchester County results come in and they flip blue

And I have a shitload of posts over the years on DL where I've said this. I haven't trusted the media since they pushed the Iraq war, because I knew it was bullshit. And I've always said that I don't give a shit about any poll even when it favors my positions.

Joy has a good point about North Carolina--the Dems should work harder and invest more $$$ there. Florida is a lost cause. I ADORE Val Demings but it is a shithole. Hopefully they'll all die of another Covid surge or it'll be underwater soon.

I want to see Kornacki nude.

Jesus Christ, people are actually falling for Caruso's "I'm a Democrat now!" shtick?

How is bobert doing?

God, John King talks alot.

Dems have gained four seats of their own, eating mightily into the Rep flips.

I give Kornacki a TON of credit. How he keeps all these races and counties and districts, etc., straight is really incredible.

[quote]“I can’t hear you above the don.”

I screwed that up. “I can’t hear you above the din.” The room was silent.

Huh?

NBC is giving us all the vapors today with Kornacki and Ben Collins.

Warnock ahead

warnock pulls ahead.

Kornacki’s arms are weirdly hairless

I’m convinced China is meddling in the elections this year.

R372, I have. Several times. Same gym. Spends a lot of time in the steam room... don't ask how I know that.

True R383, but she GAINS with each count -- gains, meaning she's getting an increasing percentage of the remaining votes out there, compared to the Dem.

Boebert being gone would certainly lessen the depression of a GOP Congress.

Garrett Haake looks like he had some lip implants.

BOEBERT IS LOSING!

I like this trajectory...keep it going!

Yes I am really hoping Boebert loses CO03, that would be amazing.

Why is MSNBC so slow? They still have Warnock behind.

A clip of Krazi Lake on CNN right now... she's not giving up.

Man, if AZ pulls this off, I am so sorry to the wonderful people of that state for ever saying a bad word about it and them.

Steve Kornacki probably wears piss stained Fruit of the Loom tighty whities.

Will the GOP pass new state voting laws to make sure elections are secure…even after doing it after every election where they lose?

Laura Kelly (D) looks likely to win reelection as governor in deep red Kansas.

I really hope and pray we don't have to deal with that smirking prick Laxalt as Nevada Senator for the next six years.

How can Michael Schmidt have 10”? His dick would be as big as he is.

It goes to show...the GQP shit really doesn't sit well with most people.

I'm loving how much of a disaster this is for the smug Republicans.

"Steve Kornacki probably wears piss stained Fruit of the Loom tighty whities."

I'd take a sniff.

Can I get an explanation as to how such a red state has a Dem Governor? Same in KY. How does that happen? I mean I get it in purple states. I can even understand a moderate Republican in a blue state, but how does a Dem win in solid red state?

Warnock leading by .2 in GA again.

Damn, I was preparing for a bloodbath, but this is just a blood sprinkling. Losing seats sucks but it can be expected to happen to the president's party in the midterm election, and everyone had me convinced it was going to be like 2010.

Hold me.

"@lxeagle17

IMO there is now a very, very real chance that Democrats hold the House, and I really don't know who I'd rather be. I think you can make an argument that it's a pure coin-flip at this point. Insane. My best guess is 220R-215D, but uh...yeah, some wide error bands there."

Wait, R391. We need more details. Please. All the details.

I’m in the UK, so it’s not really my business, but I was so worried America was about to walk off a cliff tonight! It’s great to see so many maniacs being rejected.

God bless America!

So we listened to the media bobble heads say for two years that it was a sure thing that Republicans would take back Congress. The dust hasn't settled yet, but that's not a certainty. Stop being gaslighted by these people.

Yes, that old wrinkle dick Grassley won--but this time he actually had to work for it. We'll get him next time around, when he'll be a spry 95!

OMFG!!!!!!!!!

It's the same principal as how Massachusetts and Maryland had Republican governors. Position yourself as a moderate who gets things done and focus on the issues in your state, don't tie yourself to whatever drama is going on in DC r426.

I really think abortion on the cutting board really got the ball rolling. If the SCOTUS kept quiet about it until after the election, I think the outcome would be different. I could be wrong, though.

[quote] I'm loving how much of a disaster this is for the smug Republicans.

Not celebrating yet. They could still end up winning both houses.

[quote]Perhaps the MAGAt idiots on social media will get the hint that their psychotic antics in their little echo chambers, doesn't go over very well in the real world where people watched their psychotic asses try to overthrow the govt on behalf of the stupidest pile of dog shit to ever stink up the WH.

No, this will just send them further down the rathole of Democrats stealing elections (and eating babies). You can’t fix crazy.

CNN just said this won't be easy for Republicans. They will be challenged by the narrow win in the House and need to figure out what tonight tells them about 2024.

CNN also said Boebert still 8K votes behind and Maloney losing with 85% of vote in.

He brings a new meaning to old man smell, r441.

Does this fairly good Democrat result mean America might secretly like the reasonably stable, genial elderly gentleman in the White House after all?

I’m just hoping for a nice year of bitter bloodletting between a strengthened DeSantis and a weakened Trump now. Trump is a bad loser, and he’ll damage DeSantis more than the Dems will.

Look on the bright side, Chuck Grassley could very easily die a lot sooner than he finishes another term!

Winning in WI r320.

Democrats actually flipped seats in a midterm while they have all the power. Without republicans cheating Democrats would have easily held the House.

I'm going to bed. I'm too scared to even hope the democrats somehow hold on. I don't want to wake up tomorrow to find out it turned for the Republicans overnight.

Fetterman just pulled a little further ahead.

[quote] Look on the bright side, Chuck Grassley could very easily die a lot sooner than he finishes another term!

And?! A republican governor would just appoint his successor.

[quote] CNN just said this won't be easy for Republicans.

Good. They deserve it after sucking up to Trump for the last 6 years.

[quote]If the SCOTUS kept quiet about it until after the election, I think the outcome would be different.

They were going to hand down a ruling sometime before the end of their last term.

Nevada results for Senate are starting to trickle in, but so far only from the sparsely-populated rural counties, which are deep red. So the numbers currently skew towards Laxalt. Clark County (Las Vegas) and Washoe County (Reno) are the only 2 big counties in terms of large population. Those are the counties that will determine the outcome. So wait until Washoe and Clark have both reported in.

R454 Ap has same counts but only 78% of the vote in?

It's still the bright side, R456. And apparently died of old age is the only way to get rid of the dinosaurs. They may be old, brittle and arthritic, but their grip is strong.

NBC News projects:

Nikki Budzinski wins (D) IL-13. Democrat Gain.

Greg Landsman wins (D) OH-1. Democrat Gain.

Biden really has been underestimated throughout his career. So many folk have laughed at and dismissed him and yet he ploughs on. Tonight’s mid-term results may well be the stuff that many presidents would have dreamed of.

Regardless of whether he runs again, I suspect history will see him as a crucial bulwark for democracy at a dangerous time.

WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS GETTING ALL OF THESE BLACK MAGA CANDIDATES?

Nevada really is crucial. Georgia will likely go to a run off, but a Nevada win would give Dems control of the Senate without us all having to wait for another election in Georgia.

Agreed, R463. He should get out now, though, his work being (nobly) done.

Boebert is losing, though race not called or projected yet.

"Fairly good Democratic result"

The cry of the sad maggot.

I wonder if Republicans take the house with much slimmer margins than they had hoped if they’re still going to go through the performative stupidity of impeaching Biden and investigating Hunter or if they will have learned a lesson in all this and stop the stupid shit?

Governor races live updates: GOP Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp wins reelection, defeats Stacey Abrams

Well said, r463.

r444 I agree. I think the abortion issues on ballots in several states brought out a lot of young voters.

Things are indeed looking better than expected for Democrats, but the bottom line is still power -who will control the House and Senate? If the Repugs take either they have promised to wreak havoc. We're facing shutdowns of congressional oversight and multiple impeachment proceedings -not to mention a likely government shutdown.

It's grim, folks. It could have been much worse, but it's still grim.

Fetterman wins!!!!!!!!

Fetterman wins!

HA! Get fucked, Dr. Oz!

If she loses, it will be one of the bright spots of this election season. She's such a fucking piece of shit.

What do you think, r469?

I wanna hear from our PA lawn sign trolls!

Oz told all the reporters at his party to leave about half and hour ago.

Officially called for Fetterman

Fetterman wins

I prepared for the worst...so this is the better, even if both Houses are flipped. repubs didn't get the landslide they hoped for. Again...preparing for the worst...only goes up from there.

"I wonder if Republicans take the house with much slimmer margins than they had hoped if they’re still going to go through the performative stupidity of impeaching Biden and investigating Hunter or if they will have learned a lesson in all this and stop the stupid shit?"

Dream on! Learn a lesson? No way. They will double down.

FETTERMAN IN PA

HA HA Dr. Oz! Go back to selling fake diet pills asshole!

If anyone wants a laugh, here's an article I saved (because I didn't buy it then).

"Does this fairly good Democrat result mean America might secretly like the reasonably stable, genial elderly gentleman in the White House after all?"

I think it's the flip side of the dynamic when Trump was "unexpectedly" elected president. The media didn't pick up on the underlying dynamics in the electorate and a segment of Trump voters weren't vocal about supporting him.

I'd imagine there has to be a not insignificant number of voters in this election who voted for Dems when they maybe previously voted for Republicans, or they simply didn't vote. Because, while it never seems like it based on what we see everyday in the news and social media, there really are some normally conservative/Republican voters who absolutely have limits to the insanity and bullshit they'll accept.

Plus, I'd think on the issue of abortion alone there had to be a not insignificant number of people swinging towards Dems even if saying so in their families and communities would be unpopular. Plus, the issue energized the Dem electorate and maybe got more people who would always vote Dem to not consider staying at home.

I legit just got teary-eyed. Thank goodness Fetterman won.

[quote]It's grim, folks. It could have been much worse, but it's still grim.

Hold your horses, Eeyore. We don’t yet know who will take the House and Senate. Even if Dems lose them both, we’re doing way better than virtually anyone predicted. Even if we lose the House, both CNN and MSNBC have said the narrow margin of a potential Republican majority will make it virtually impossible for them to get anything done.

[quote] Will Boebert give a concession speech or will she just go out and shoot someone?

If McConnell doesn't get his majority, will he go out & shoot Trump?

FORMER Representative Boebert, has a nice ring to it!

Go down to Tijuana bitch and shoot some ping pong balls out of your cooter.

We live in hope, R499!

No but McTurtle WILL put a stop to him once and for all.

[quote]If McConnell doesn't get his majority, will he go out & shoot Trump?

I think he knew Republicans would lose the Senate a few weeks back and blamed it on candidate quality.

Fetterman is the type that can turn fence sitters. We need more of the type of optics he delivers to win in Ohio, Wisconsin, etc.

Handsome Ari in the MSNBC house

In Ohio the state Supreme Court is elected. And the GOP swept it. LINK....We can kiss Gay Rights goodbye..One of those who won is the Governors son who has for years refused to recuse himself in cases the Governor brought to the Supreme Court.

Dr. Oz has learned that people from PA really don't like people from Jersey much.

Very excited Minnesotan here. Total victory for Democrats. Love being in a "flyover" that is so consistently liberal.

From Jon Ralston:

All Dems in House have robust leads in first Clark numbers:

Titus +11 Lee+9 Horsford+15

Great news if House control depends on the Nevada delegation.

R508 We love Minny.

Newtown PA Oz headquarters....totally empty. I hear crickets.....lol. CNN reporting.

OZ is a fucking dumbass. Die now cunt.

"Fetterman is the type that can turn fence sitters. We need more of the type of optics he delivers to win in Ohio, Wisconsin, etc."

It's true. Maybe it shouldn't be, but it is. Most people, of course, are not basing voting decisions on a serious deep dive into policy. It's a candidates position on a few key issues, likeability, relatability, and other "optics."

I can’t look til it’s over.

R208 The current results in Arizona are mostly mail in votes. Typically Democrats. Republicans typically voted in person on election day. Those votes won't show up until later. Possibly tomorrow.

So happy that Gretchen "That Woman From Michigan" Whitmer was reelected.

Look, R514, I had studiously ignored it all day long and I'm having one hell of a good time now!

Real lost opportunity in Wisconsin.

You meant to say BIG GRETCH, right, r516?

Pics please, R520.

Well, r480…what do you want to know? I’m going to be signing off soon.

I'm tired, but I can't sleep...will be up most of the night...lol.

Same r520. I blamed on being asleep by now but I didn't expect to be this excited and happy.

Mandela Barnes is closing. Wisconsin might not be as dead as it seemed two hours ago.

Screw you Dr. Oz!

I’m sorry, but I am still HORNY and I want to hear about nude S Korn. in the steam room! Do not leave me dangling!

r515, Arizona's gone, honey. The Lake cunt is hiding in the bathroom. Seriously.

I’m so confused about the Kentucky abortion vote?! Does this give a clue to the better than expected blue results tonight? Is anyone a specialist in this location - is it because red areas are still not counted?

Doesn’t this effectively end Trump’s plan to steal the electoral college in 2024? Stick a fork in him because he is dead.

As of right now, including Clark County (Las Vegas), the most populous county, the vote for Nevada U.S. Senate is

Cortez-Masto (D) 54.29%

Laxalt (R) 42.95%

There is still the 2nd most populous county, Washoe (Reno area) yet to report, but that is generally Democratic. At this point it looks like a clear win for Cortez-Masto.

Odd CNN hasn't called PA.

Barnes is still trailing by about 40,000. For some time now.

So maybe Democracy will continue to hang on by a thread.....

And just did.

I guess Oprah still has the midas touch... :)

Fetterman is about to speak...

ABC NEWS = OZ lost.........Dr. Oz = I WON!!!.....LoL

And it looks like Fetterman’s team are CNN people…judging by the big screen at his rally.

I want to assure all Americans, I have spoken to Leader McConnell and told him he count on my vote every time.

Congrats R508! Thank you for your contribution to saving Democracy in Flyoverland.

Fetterman’s win is especially poignant after his debate where Oz surgically slaughter the fellow who continues to heal from his stroke. Fetterman gained my loyalty after fronting up for that event and doing his very best. The outcome tonight is sweet..,.sweet justice for him.

I, too, will withdraw my remarks on Arizona tonight if it comes through for us. It seems Ohio has now stepped up to become the new FL or TX. Hard to believe, but always found the state a bit of a problem even before the Trump Era.

What’s up with Wisconsin?

Will Kari Lake become Dr. Oz's new cohost? Maybe replacements for Kelly and Ryan?

I'm looking forward to this. GO FETTERMAN YOU FABULOUS BITCH!

Sorry, my husband's bustle got in my way at post R543.

[quote] At this point it looks like a clear win for Cortez-Masto.

That, then, would be the ballgame. Regardless of Georgia.

OBAMA and OPRAH saved Pennsylvania!!!.....

It's looking like Michael Moore was correct.

Rick Scott's plan to be Majority Leader might have to be put on hold.

Fox News will be getting a wave of unexpected job seekers tomorrow....

The only way this could get better is if they made Miss Lindsey go before the grand jury tomorrow in Georgia.

Yeah, but let's not forget Oprah gave us Oz in the first place, R549.

My friends in PA were worried about their dumber brethren in Pennsyltucky, but they all said the same thing: they found Fetterman brave to go out there and do that debate, and that bravery was what they were preaching to their friends and neighbors. It might have been the difference.

Johnson concedes with 9% of the vote in Oregon and Kotek up by 1%. She should have dropped out before the ballots were mailed.

If Catherine Cortez Masto wins in Nevada and Warnock wins in Georgia we are going to GAIN a seat in the Senate.

God, could you imagine. No one would have guessed that.

Clear win for Cortez Masto? No, because in-person election day vote it yet to come and that's GOP-heavy. The NYT needle is projecting just a tiny 0.7% win for her. It's going to be close.

R557: would that make Kamala totally irrelevant?

I love that big goofy looking Fetterman

I'm actually almost in tears listening to Fetterman.

Fetterman speaking now....and speaking very well. Clear, fluid, not halting. So much better than the debate. How cool, how odd.

Fetterman speaking very well.

I hope looney Kari Lake loses. Hopefully, Cecily Strong working on her impersonation for this weekend's SNL.

Has someone already started Part 3? This thread seems laggy?

I hope the "don't talk about Walker if you think Fetterman is normal.." trolls are watching John speak.

🎇[bold] FETTERMAN WINS PENNSYLVANIA ! 🎇

Oh, the humiliation of Trump....The GLORIOUS humiliation....And of course Trump will blame the GOP for HIS endorsing losers...

I hope the goddamn media spend at least a few minutes in quiet reflection after these results. They spent months hyping a GOP red wave when the polls never showed it.

[quote] Hopefully, Cecily Strong working on her impersonation for this weekend's SNL.

Did SNL book Dave Chappelle as its post-election host believing it would be a repeat of his post-'16 election appearance?

I'll redeem Oprah for foisting Oz on us...she and Obama came through in the end.

R569 that's almost like thinking Reptards will have a moment of reflection and rethink their strategies.

Spoiler Alert... neither will.

I'm sure the walls of MagaLardo are dripping with ketchup and steaks tonight.

[quote] I hope the goddamn media spend at least a few minutes in quiet reflection after these results. They spent months hyping a GOP red wave when the polls never showed it.

Well, to be fair, history also suggested that it would be a red tsunami.

R570, no one watches SNL.

poor Oz

fuck

Did Oz give up his show for this?

To be fair to Oprah, she introduced us to Oz as a congenial talking head -not as a politician. It took someone with Trump's brains to see him as senator material...

R568....trump will say, "I don't know them.".

Fetterman sounds great!

Strong and clear. Really exceptional for someone who had a stroke six months ago.

R531 I tend to agree that she will lose. I think her abortion stand was more harmful than anything. But I don't think she will be hiding. She will be front and center with stolen election contentions for a very long time.

Will this put a damper in the media's giddiness over Trump announcing he's running again? I mean they're the only assholes waiting for the announcement that most Americans couldn't give a shit about.

The media needs to only report on the investigations into that terrorist, traitor trash. Nothing else.

Warnock is in the lead again! With 5% of the vote still out.

CNN calls WISCONSIN for TONY EVERS (D)

Dr. Oz is a loser. He got me coffee once.

Pennsylvania came through in 2020....and in 2022. Thank you PA!!😘🥰

He's not wrong—this time—R584.

[quote] I think her abortion stand was more harmful than anything.

She's been making threats and talking about all the horrible stuff she was going to do as governor since DAY ONE.

Trump has single-handedly ruined the Republican party and they absolutely deserve everything they get for allowing it to happen. Normally in mid-terms there is a shift in power to whatever party doesn't hold the presidency. They managed to even fuck that up. It's hilarious.

Now, let's watch the Dems do absolutely nothing for the next 2 years.

R584. He's so sad. Translating politics into stale memes.

But I guess that's all Republicans are capable of now.

R577, that doesn't surprise me at all. Lee is popular in UT

Warnock - 49.2% - 1,914,014 (20,990 ahead)

Walker - 48.7% - 1,893,024

Who is this Chase Oliver asshole that fucked up the Georgia election? We could be done with that tonight but now we'll have to go to a runoff.

Yes, R594, I’m surprised he’s actually acknowledging the disaster tonight has been for his party.

R586 David Letterman is an unfunny hack.

If I lived in Pennsylvania, and was old enough to vote, John Fetterman certainly would have gotten my vote.

They can't pass legislation if they lose the House.

However crucially keeping the Senate would mean appointing Biden's judges. That matters

Who does a GA runoff favor? My friends in Atlanta are pretty certain there will be a runoff.

Need Part 3

Thanks, R606

😂 Does "Doctor" Oz have a job ?

*CNN PROJECTS WHITMER WINS MICHIGAN GOVERNOR'S RACE*

Evers will be alone. The Secretary of State will be a MAGA, and in charge of certifying elections. Johnson re-elected, Republicans gained a house seat. He's a lame duck.
