The States On Which Control Of The Senate May Hinge - TPM – Talking Points Memo

If Donald Trump wins the presidency at the end of this year, he’s promised to enact a sweeping agenda of retribution and revenge. That agenda will be made much easier, and less reliant on executive actions and friendly courts, if he has a legislature that is willing to go along for the ride.

Donald J. Trump is like a virulent cancer. It (and he) needs to be immediately extricated by whatever means necessary.

I am from southeastern Pennsylvania, Chester County. For decades it was bright red, but since about 2017 it’s been blue, and the Democrats seem to be holding their own. (I’m proud to be a RINO!) Fingers crossed I hope we can deliver a win to Casey, Biden and the other democrats

TEXAS!!! Everybody hates Ted Cruz, Collin Allred is great, and Texas turned about 3.4 points less red between 2016 and 2020. That’s enough new blue voters to wipe out Ted’s 2.6 point squeaker over Beto in 2018.

Sorry, I was told by moderators that the cat stuff was reserved for Morning Memo. Guess not. Cute cat, but I’m tired of the cats, ok? On every thread now? Maybe I will start a big toe fetish and we can all post pictures of our big toes.

Welcome! Not to stomp on your toes, but I’d prefer to skip “god’s ear” and go directly to the ballot box…

The Cruz Curse caused UT to lose the CFP semifinals.

Every time I open a door a cat is either coming or going. I’ve made peace with it but sometimes in a low moment I curse their wicked souls.

In Arizona Sinema cannot get elected which is a good thing. Neither can perpetual whiner Kari Lake. I think Ruben Gallego has an excellent chance of a big win.

I also can’t see Dave McCormick (who lives in Connecticut!) beating Pennsylvania’s beloved Senator Bob Casey.

I surly hope so, I really, really do, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Wait a second. If McCormick lives in CT how the heck can he run in PA?

Ohio and Montana are both substantially redder than Texas was in 2020. Will you wait to “believe it when [you] see it” for Sherrod Brown or Jon Tester?

Basically the same way that Mehmet Oz did. He’s rich and owns houses in both states, but his children go to school in and he registers his vehicles in CT.
