I am up and checking in after a day of being unplugged. I'm relieved Pritzker held his seat. Still pissed I'm in Mary Miller's district now. And overall just tired. Catching up on the other news now.

Trump is going to absolutely unleash on DeSantis in the next week after these results. He was already talking shit yesterday before things went well for DeSanits and poorly for him. Just wait. The only open question now is if DeSantis can be talked into going up against Trump instead of waiting for 2028 like Cotton and the others are going to do. Strategically I’m not sure what I’m hoping for here but I think having those two in a head on train collision with each other feels like a good thing. this is where I am. I welcome it, actually.

I went to bed feeling defeated, but I woke up encouraged that my city, San Antonio, stayed solidly blue. This is where I’m trying to focus for here. Our county/metro voted blue. Even with the redistricting, the incumbent was only 9007 votes over the D candidate for the district. My state legislator won with over 2:1 ratio and the one who was redistricted to make it harder for them still won. It is going to be rough, but I’m trying to keep hope that those going to DC from other states can help on the federal level. Especially since Ricketts will most likely be heading to fill Sasse’s seat.

Come the fuck on white women. So disappointing. This is just so goddamn disappointing. White women need to DO BETTER!

CA district 13 is within 200 votes right now and the Dem is leading. 40% of votes counted. I’ll be stalking that and Katy Porter’s race all day.

Another disappointed Ohioan here, but I acknowledge that it is really easy for me, living in a solidly blue county, to forget just how red most of the state is. Same. I can never leave my little suburb bc most of the rest of the state is just batshit.

I'm now channeling all of my waiting-for-more-results election energy into rooting for the death of this horrible male character in "Bad Sisters" on Apple+.
KILL HIM DEAD!

Actually it doesn't really matter, regardless of where you are in the show, and defying all logic, he keeps getting worse. Oof. And the ending is actually pretty satisfying.

The walls were definitely dripping with ketchup last night. Hopefully they thought to plastic everything (ala sports championships) before the results started coming in.

Get fucked GA! It should not be this way. But also, see you at the polls I guess.

I don't think Tim Ryan was a good candidate. I voted for him, but I wasn't really excited about him at all. Same, I think he tried too hard to seem relatable I am so disappointed in OH today, although unfortunately not surprised it’s interesting to hear about the Ryan campaign from locals because to out of state peeps he seemed like a great candidate. It makes it seem more like national support/money wouldn’t have helped

I went into conservative reddit (because I hate myself) to see what they're saying and in the biggest con subreddit, they have turned on TFG. The change in attitude from Monday to today is something. Of course, they all think the Florida governor is the future of the party, which ugh.

If you thought Chuck Schumer had a rough time balancing the 117th Congress Senate Democratic caucus, just wait til you see Kevin Mccarthy try to any goddamn thing with the House Republican Caucus and a 5 seat majority
Lolololololol

richard dc2london I don't think it will last. The one thing TFG is good at is self-promotion and if the Florida governor stands aside for 2024, TFG will be getting all the praise again.

I’m watching the final few episodes of Love is Blind on Netflix. Can anyone tell me exactly which senate seats we still have outstanding and where we are number wise? I just saw the GA going to runoff (damn it).

I just saw the GA going to runoff (damn it). Nevada and Arizona. In Nevada, Cortez Masto is behind but we're waiting on big #s of mail-in ballots from Vegas. It depends on how big her margin there is. In Arizona, Kelly is ahead (and running ahead of the Dem governor candidate) but still big number of votes out. So not very clear at the moment.

The NYT needle has Kelly winning in Arizona and marked it blue. They have the Nevada race as likely for the Democratic candidate.
ETA: The NYT is the only place I've seen Arizona kind of called. He is ahead, though.

If we end up with Trump v Biden in 2024 I might cry. I want age limits in addition to term limits. The SNL skit really touched on this.

Historically lower enthusiasm among base + inflation + backlash from covid policies + rampant voter suppression and intimidation + naysayers errrwhere + awful partisan gerrymandering + insane spending on paid media by the opposition = ....Democrats hold the line and force House GOP into possibly the narrowest majority they've ever had
We kicked ass
Dems have a lot of work and reflecting to do, as a party. But dang. Great work team!
