In the Senate right now, there are 49 Republicans and 51 Democrats (I'm including the Independents who align with Democrats).
So what do you think it will be come January? They have one seat that is 99.99% certain to be a pickup for them (WV), but we can gain a couple as well to offset it. We have a chance in TX and FL. Unfortunately, they have a good chance in MT and a reasonable chance in OH.
46 votes, 3 passes | Time left: Unlimited | |
The same as it is now, 51-49 with us in the Majority | |

(33,113 posts)Tester and Brown are going to win. Definitely Brown. I'm also not convinced we are losing Ohio.

(17,051 posts)Trump will win it by 15-19 points. It wouldn't surprise me at all if the polls on Tester are correct.

(3,936 posts)Aside from his opponent having a shit-load of money.

(17,051 posts)Last time Tester won was 2018, in a very Democratic year. Will a certain percentage of Trump voters cross over? I don't know, but I hope so.

(18,233 posts)His second run was in 2012 a great President Obama year. His third run in 2018, a great mid term year for the Democratic Party. 2024 is a presidential election so its a mystery how it will turn out.

(17,051 posts)Any guesses?

(18,233 posts)until hes decided to retire. This will be his most challenging election probably ever and even future ones will be easier.
