Biden's DOJ doesn't see red and blue states, but the United States.

Support the Troops.

— not US politics, but pretty interesting. Have to assume the same stuff is happening here with China and Russia.

GOP won’t be endorsing Trump

Larry Hogan and Chris Christie need to not run so the anybody but Trump vote isn't split. Neither of them have any chance of winning the nomination and the only person who can stop Trump is DeSantis. Rubio and Kasich were selfish and stayed in much longer than they should have in 2016. Hogan and Christie will ensure that Trump is the nominee if they run and don't get out immediately and endorse DeSantis.

Can any of the inflation and crime deniers on the thread tell me if they agree with this?

 

[Sea Turtle]

Rumors that Trump might announce tonight.

Idiot.

Jim (and people generally) need to read more books. Not everyone is a character in Nazi Germany or Harry Potter

 

[drayer54]

Idiot.

I support preventing the IMMEDIATE counting of military ballots until they figure out the extent of the voting scam. That makes sense. Kristol’s tweet seems to be taking a little spin at reality.

Awful quiet in here today given what's at stake.

I would say our democracy is at stake but I am not some idiot who thinks our Constitutional Republic is a democracy.

 

[Sea Turtle]

538 has senate at 59% flipping to the GOP and 84% for the house to flip.

Election betting sites have it at 77% for a senate flip to GOP and 85% for the house.

That's all I got.

Dems have no enthusiasm and Repubs are holding their breath a Red Wave isn't stolen from them. . . Hence the silence

I put 200 bucks into Predictit. If the wave comes in like I hope, It’s going to be suh-weet! My biggest bets are on Laxalt in NV.

I just sat down, mixed a bourbon double barrel, and am sorting out my twitter list for good follows tonight.

I'd love to be wrong, but I think it's a red mirage. Senate will either remain 50-50 or 51-49 in favor of the Dems. A lot of bad Republican candidates emerged from the primaries. Additionally, people can say all they want that they disapprove of the job that Biden and the Democrat controlled congress are doing, and talk about how important economic issues and the border are, but I don't think they'll put their votes where their mouths are.

I think you’re wrong. People are sick of this shit. Mandela Barnes is a bad candidate. Shrek in basketball shorts is a bad candidate. You can’t hide the cost of gas and groceries. You can’t hide people being afraid to be downtown. It’s going to be great.

I disagree, I think there are far more liberals that felt strongly about Roe that will feel their social media posts will prove sufficient.

No way . . . no way. 53-47 Republican Senate . . . No way Dems hold or take Senate . . . No way.

Even Real Clear Politics who averages out polls has it as 53-47 Republican projection. And RCP has a 3% Dem weight adjustment due to polls consistently erroring on the side of Dems for many many election cycles. Zero chance Republicans don't take both house and senate. Republican election day turnout is HUGE. 4 to 1 in Arizona Maricopa County

 

[drayer54]

Thrilled to see Todd Young declared the winner at 7PM and I managed to go the entire cycle without even knowing who the Democrat opposing him is.

 

[NDMatt91]

It's early, but things don't look particularly good for Walker (underperforming Kemp by 4-4.5%), Bolduc in NH, and Vance is badly underperforming DeWine.

Walker has always underperformed Kemp in the polls. A 4% lag is fine.

 

[NorthDakota]

Rubio and DeSantis gotta be loving tonight

When this election is over, the Democrats are going to come to understand that these things weren't the no-big-deal nothingburgers they and their apologists insisted they were.

I don’t have Fox News or many others after a cable cut,… I’m watching NBC and CSPAN and my goodness,… every turn is ‘it’s unfortunate’… ‘sad day’… ‘the economy is actually doing great, people just can’t see it’… ‘republicans are winning without anything to offer’… ‘the messaging simply hasn’t been on point’… and on and on,… not a sniff of an opposing take. It’s crazy to think some eat this up

Was watching the Virginia House races since it "could" hold some indication of the night overall.

District 2 and 7 were listed as toss-ups with Republicans likely having the edge in 2 and the Dem's a slight edge in 7.
District 10 was listed as a Dem lean but if the Republicans could make it close, it could spell trouble.

It does look like the Republicans will take 2
Republicans look to have taken 7 (plus 2.8 with 99% of the vote)
Dems take 10 (plus 6 with 99% of the vote)

Not sure what, if anything, we can take from it for sure.

Well, you know, I mean as long as they're not biased or anything and just reporting the news, right?

Earlier polls showed RvW was not ranked that high on concerns by voters.

It’s sad the media no longer reports but instead gives personal opinions.

49.4 Warnock 48.7 Walker with 72% reporting.

 

[ab2cmiller]

49.4 Kemp 48.7 Walker with 72% reporting

Interesting to watch tonight, but I'll be shocked if either one gets over 50% to avoid the runoff.
