Does this include the Independ Senators King and Sanders as "Dems"?

(2,113 posts)Georgia's 2 Senate seats not yet decided. Looks like both might go to run-off(s).
Edit: Sorry, I'm wrong. As others have said, Peters in MI makes it 47 Dems.

I wonder who we will lose in the Senate if some of the Dems are put on Biden's cabinet.

(4,845 posts)Or the 2 GA runoffs (Ossoff one isn't sure to go runoff yet). To be honest, I see little to no chance to do it. Our better chances were Collins, Cunningham and Urnst seats and none of them materialized.

(6,679 posts)I hope I'm wrong, but if we get Biden, I can handle it. Sure, legislation and judicial picks go nowhere. But the slip into dictatorship is averted. That's my biggest issue on this one.

(7,447 posts)We always needed three net given the loss in Alabama if we won the WH.
We are at net 1 right now, so we need two more, NC probably isn't happening so basically we need Ossof to get to a runoff and then win both runoffs.
A heady challenge.

(28,859 posts)the Independents will vote with us.
McConnell won't be able to just ram anything through.
Right?
