Dunno about midterms. ‘Events, dear boy, events.
Yeah, I was referring to the judicial as a decade or longer. Republicans will have the candidates for nominating ready to go and you can bet they’ll be young and ideological.

My suspicions get raised when someone uses ‘we’…

It will be interesting to watch how T bone governs this time. If I was laying a bet, I think he’ll do a fair amount of heavy betrayal with his new found working class base while crowing about his achievements for them. Not unlike the Democrats.
For all the petty bougouise base he’s enjoyed since 2016, I see more goods getting delivered. For the plutocrats, his real base and people, much more in the forms of tax breaks, contracts and deregulation.

So business as usual for the most part, with some rice bowls getting cracked while others get filled, towards the top of the class ladder.

Where things stand as of tonight. Senate Rep 52, Dem 47. Pennsylvania hasn’t been called. McCormick leads Casey by 30,000 votes with 99% of the votes counted. But it’s close enough to go to a recount. It’ll be some time before Pennsylvania becomes official.

The house will probably take longer, the republicans have a 216-207 lead with 10 races yet to be called or determined. Those uncalled races are split 5-5 as to who holds the seats now. The republicans have flipped 7 previously held democratic seats, the democrats have flipped 5 Republican held seats.

https://www.cnn.com/election/2024/r...flipped=false&filter-remaining=false

The links I provided are usually updated twice daily in case anyone wants to closely follow or obtain the most recent results. Here’s something weird. In the 5 swing states that had both a presidential and senate race, the democrat won 4 of those 5 states with Pennsylvania being the 5th, too close to call.

Michigan Democrat Slotkin won the senate seat by 20,000 votes, Harris lost Michigan by 40,000 votes
Wisconsin Democrat Baldwin won the senate seat by 27,000 votes, Harris lost Wisconsin by 30,000 votes
Nevada Democrat Rosen won the senate seat by 22,000 votes, Harris lost Nevada by 47,000 votes
Arizona Democrat Gallego won the senate seat by 73,000 votes, Harris lost Arizona by 185,000 votes
Pennsylvania – See senate above. Harris lost Pennsylvania by 134,000 votes

A whole lot of ticket splitting took place in these 5 swing states. Voting republican for president, voting democratic down ballot. Which is highly unusual as normally the senate seat goes the same as the presidential. Having one or two is understandable. But four and possibly all 5 depending on Pennsylvania. I can’t remember the last time that happened if it ever did.


It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
