The 2022 senate slate looks promising for the Dems, there are 2 republicans in seats the dems should win in PA and WN. Florida will be tight especially as Rubio is standing down.


There will be a few Republicans who back any wild Trump actions even though they know he will lose as they have an eye on the White House.

Is Rubio standing down? I haven't seen that. I would imagine he'll want another run at the White House in 2024.

The Senate map is alright for the Dems in 2022, but it's very rare for the party in control of the White House to pick up Senate seats in the midterms (although Trump managed it, so who knows). The Senate map is pretty awful for the Dems in 2024, and the way things stand, the system is tilted heavily in Republicans' favour, which makes it even more crazy that the Dems will soon have control of everything.

Perdue and Loeffler are two of the most blatantly corrupt senators, it’s frightening for them to still get virtually half the vote even despite Trump’s efforts to sabotage it. At least one of them is going tonight though.

I was watching a documentary about poverty in the states and it was showing county's in Virginia which are some of 5he poorest in the country yet Trumps support hasn't diminished and these people were incredibly poor and things have got worse under Trump.

The conclusion I drew is they were totally ignored by the democrats so even though trump has taken some of what little they have (reduced food stamp entitlements etc) they still feel he 'speaks to them'.

Bernie did a number of town hall type events in places like that and others that are deep Trump country. He often got ovations and cheers for the points he was making. Don't forget, Trump ran in 2016 on things like 'Iraq was a mistake', 'I'll make sure everyone is covered on healthcare', 'drain the swamp'. Joe Biden who ran on 'nothing will fundamentally change' might have scraped home in the states he needed to but Trump or someone like him will be back in 4 years to capitalise

It won't be Biden standing next time, of course.

Depends how this term goes anyway. The unfortunate thing is Covid will probably bring recessions / depressions all over the place, so the 'art' will be managing to blame Trump's handling of the pandemic for why lives are so shit, and showing there's a plan to get out of it.

Biden still doesn't think a single payer healthcare system is a good idea even after COVID. 'Nothing will fundamentally change' still leaves loads of them in the shit.

Still a heavy Democrat area. Biden beat him easily there. Another state where demographics have changed with it becoming a commuter area /suburb for those working in Washington and the investment that proximity to Washington has brought. Stronger Democratic demographic
Poorer areas in the South suffered from the coal industry shrinking. More a Republican area with a Republican demographic

so about 30.000 apparently at Trump's speech. Doesn't really compare to the 1.5 million he claimed attended his inauguration speech :)

Wonder if any of them have still got the 'thin blue line' on their flags?

leading republicans have got what they deserve for not dealing with Trump after the election by losing the senate. Would be interesting to know how Georgias voting preferences may (almost certainly) have changed post presidential election/trumps bizarre behaviour since

Probably key is how stay-aways there were because of him -seeing as the margins are so small

Unbelievable, even by Trump standards, what we're seeing at the moment. Trump supporters storming the capital building. Senate and House of Representatives suspended with senators and representatives sheltering in place.

Got to say the police response seems a bit lacking.

An anonymous Republican official in November:

“What is the downside for humoring him for this little bit of time? No one seriously thinks the results will change,” the official said. “He went golfing this weekend. It’s not like he’s plotting how to prevent Joe Biden from taking power on Jan. 20. He’s tweeting about filing some lawsuits, those lawsuits will fail, then he’ll tweet some more about how the election was stolen, and then he’ll leave.”
