U.S Midterms - Democrats hold Senate, Republicans take House
https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...main_p001_f001
Early days but the US midterm election results are starting to come. So far it looks like the Republicans will, as expected, take the house albeit narrowly but the senate remains a toss-up as the Democrats seem to be outperforming the expectations in the run-up to this election. |
Re: U.S Midterms
As an outsider, the mid-terms do seem a bit of overkill. Why not just have one election every four years for everything?

Well one positive is that it is unlikely to bolster Trumps belief in running again. DeSantis (if he wants to run) would seem to be the Republicans best shot in 24.

Re: U.S Midterms
DeSantis has overtaken Trump as the favourite for the Republican nomination on some markets after last night's results. Flordia really was massive for the Republicans, the kind of result they wanted elsewhere. Might Trump's spell be broken on the party?

Re: U.S Midterms
Thankfully it seems this time the election fraud accusations haven't really taken off. People have conceded when they've lost, there haven't been mass protests. Republicans are mostly arguing amongst themselves for the results rather than assuming it's rigged.
Suggestions that the Republicans are trying to stop Trump announcing he'll run next week: https://www.washingtonpost.com/polit...ncement-delay/ |

Democrats retain the Senate so that hasn't changed. Looks like the Republicans will get a small majority in the House.

This is the best a defending party has done in the midterms since the Republicans in 2002 and they had a popular President on the back of 9/11, not Biden who is very unpopular and massive inflation. |

The NBC News projection for uncalled races takes it to R219-D216, with a margin of error of +/-4. |
Re: U.S Midterms - Democrats hold Senate
Yeah, so they'll need all the close races to break to the Democrats for a 1 seat Dem majority. It's not likely.

Confirmed that the House is now Republican. Looks like they're have a majority of a handful of seats

Democrats solidify their hold on the senate by winning the Georgia run-off.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-63877555 Apparently the first time since 1931 that a ruling party hasn’t lost a single senate seat at mid-term elections. Also worth noting that the GOP candidate was yet another under-performing MAGA Trump-backed placeman. Looks like the magic’s wearing off. |

https://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...-b2242122.html Democrats go back to holding 50 seats. She could still caucus with them, as an Independent but she has rejected some of their party policies, voted against ending the filibuster to get Biden's legislative agenda through. |

She has said she will still caucus with the Democrats

Plus, as Hugh has pointed out, the VP has the casting vote in the senate so the Dems still have control. |

As others have noted, this has been a successful Senate election for the Democrats. The learnings are pretty much all on the Republican side of the House. And they suggest the need to ditch Trump as he has fallen out of favour with the electorate, bar the die-harders. |

I’m sorry, but I don’t follow your reasoning.
The Dems had 50 seats before, 48 Dems and 2 Independents who caucused with them. They now have 48 Dems and 3 Independents who caucus with them, but they still only have 50 seats? |

Sinema would need to switch to the Republicans for them to lose the House officially. |
Re: U.S Midterms - Democrats hold Senate, Republicans take House
Quote:
But if Sinema doesn’t go along party lines and Manchin, Manchin votes with Republicans, dems lose their majority. Cackling VP Harris, can’t use her deciding vote, But again, Biden’s legislative agenda can’t proceed without the control of the House. |
Re: U.S Midterms - Democrats hold Senate, Republicans take House
Does anyone think now that Biden won't fufill his full term? Now would be the time for him to step down but that's not looking likely.

He's like any politician. Loves the big stage. That's why Cameron voted Remain.

Think about it. Is there an altruistic main party leader in the UK? Take the Wee Skankie in Scotland - strutting the EU corridors a few years ago - she wants a seat at the high table. Cameron was the same; what would top being PM of a sovereign country? Being at the top table with other leaders and wielding power there. So, why wouldn't Biden want to be there for the same reason? Any altruism he might possess is dwarfed by the power fix he gets from the power he wields. |

Or is he going to pull out of the race and back DeSantis? |

I think he’s bottling it, either that or he’s just got really piss poor campaign managers. Seen lots of commentary suggesting this is the closest we got to a Trump concession speech.
