Incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan (R-AK) has won reelection, according to CNN and the Associated Press, leaving all Democratic hopes of Senate control hanging on the Georgia runoffs.
But the way Ivanka’s carrying on here does make me wonder if Trump is disconsolate and refusing food at this point. This is just weird, like trying to jolly up a kid whose dog died.
Pinning our hopes on two runoff elections in a historically red state isn’t filling me with a lot of confidence. Yes, Biden won there this year (by a razor thin margin) but runoff elections tend to favor Republicans. My fingers are crossed, but I’m far from confident. I’d give our odds at maybe 50/50 of picking up either seat in January. I’d give us a one in five shot of picking up both.
Seeing as how Manchin already announced he’s going to vote with the Republicans on anything that matters, we need to ALSO quadruple efforts for 2022, when the R’s will be defending a lot of vulnerable seats, but we’re going to be dealing with total obstruction in the lead up. Going to have to fight like dogs for every inch and keep people motivated to vote for us.
Under absolutely NO CIRCUMSTANCES, should any of the political hacks from this administration, including Trump and his family, be allowed access to security briefings. Even redacted. I have zero doubt they are grabbing what they can to sell on the black market or to blackmail someone.
OT
Just ran some errands driving around rural South Jersey (Salem County). Noticed some “Trump 2020” signs have been added or replaced with “President Trump” flags. They’re new.
They’re likely not going to be removed either and will be part of the future narrative no doubt.
