How so?
Kyrsten Sinema goes independent, scrambles Senate
- Thread starter ipatent
- Start date
No. Dems still hold majority and will actually get committee chairs because Republicans don’t have 50. Nothing will really change.
Well yeah. What’s interesting is that with the Warnock reelection Dems can lose Manchin and possibly hold the senate in 2024 even without a dem president.
We need more to defect from the Democratic Party.
That would be great.
Senators like Warnock and Kelly who go along with every progressive bill and Fetterermen who will probably do the same winning in states like AZ,GA and PA makes me optimistic.
The Democrats chances of picking up any seats in 2024 are pretty low. FL has become redder and TX hasn't shown it's that close to becoming a swing state yet. 2018 was also a more favorable environment for them (midterms under Trump's presidency) when Scott and Cruz won their seats. MT, AZ, WI, OH, and WV all seem more likely to flip the other way than TX or FL. Manchin won't even break a filibuster and the seat is almost guaranteed to become Republican if he leaves. MT is a solid red state and Tester is way less likely to sneak by in a more neutral environment. OH has been trending redder and redder. Tim Ryan was a pretty decent candidate and Vance was on the shitty side, yet Vance won easily. AZ and WI are very much swing states and it will depend on candidate quality. The GOP has gotten more extreme in AZ despite the state becoming purple. However, Sinema could play spoiler, allowing pretty much any Republican to win.
