(9,081 posts)Mitch McConnell will dangle the world to Manchin and Senima with a Walker win, he only needs one, with a Warnock hold he needs them both. Senima may be the first to take the deal.

(8,034 posts)But that is presumming too much and inserting fantasy.
So the reality of both of their inclinations (let's just call it) is rather predictable for the most part. My worries are both jumping ship.
We badly need reliable Senators in play, so we have to flip up coming races in 2024 I believe is the next opportunity.

And that of course depends on Sen. Warnock winning in Georgia.

(5,410 posts)something most of us would not have predicted, 5 days after the election...
I pray for some "surprises" in California, and anywhere else that the counting of votes is not completed yet...

(19,023 posts)Even if we get to 51, if Manchin opposes a bill, Sinema will too. We needed 52 to prevent their obstruction.
