Four Senate Seats are still not decided


MT, FL and AZ are almost tied but we are a few thousand behind in each.

Mississippi will have a run off

Top Republican and Espy had about 40% each.

Not an automatic loss but very difficult

Rep currently at 51 and Dems at 49.

Mississippi will be extremely tough, since we’re not going against McDaniall.

Imagine how many seats we would have lost if Hillary had been president, given this terrain?

Double digits would have been in play.

Granted, it would have meant a different Supreme Court, and everything else

The statewide results, apart from NV, were a big disappointment. FL getting redder, GA and AZ still looking out of reach, MO and IN confirmed out of reach. WI much closer than you’d like. Trump is dug in further than I had thought. He campaigned on hate, didn’t leverage the economy which was his one plausible success story for independents, inspired people to bomb Democrats and kill people in their house of worship and still didn’t pay what I would have considered to be anything close to full price.

If we can just wake MS up, the state that has the highest percentage of AAs of any state in the country, then maybe just maybe....

I think many sortof wrote this seat off but it would be a coup if we could actually GET that seat.

(as a note I had to clarify to myself what was gong on there - there was a "Class I" Senate seat already up in MS, so you ended up with an election involving both Senate seats due to the special election one that was not normally due this cycle)
