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.

(14,565 posts)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

(39,284 posts)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 youd like. Trump is dug in further than I had thought. He campaigned on hate, didnt 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 didnt pay what I would have considered to be anything close to full price.

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)
