USAFRetired_Liberal's JournalHouse republicans in Swing or Biden districts
I hear all the media folks saying that far right congressmen (like MTG) will have a lot of power and sway in a slim republican majority. But it seems to me like republicans in swing districts or in districts that Biden won would/should have more power. Like all those NY/CA districts that Republicans barely won….the Republicans wouldn’t have a majority without them….isn’t that the reason Sinema and Manchinhsve so much power in the Senate? …:MTG and her ilk are in safe districts they mean nothing to the majority
Judges judges judges!!!!
Let’s be honest, no major legislation will pass congress in the next two years regardless of who controls the house…..this Senate win is big because the most important thing is judges!
This guy hasn't been on tv or tweeted since election night

Funny scenario
Republicans win the House 218-217…but McCarthy can’t get enough votes to become speaker…:McCarthy resigns his seat….because if he won’t become speaker then why would he even want to remain in the House….any other position would be a demotion for him…:the house is 217-217 and Newsome makes the special election way out
If the Democrats win Arizona and Nevada
That means we have the majority, but do you think that affects the Georgia runoff? Does that keep Democratic voters home thinking that the election isn’t as dire now, or does it have the opposite effect and lower republican turnout, or does it have no effect?
I think Trump will run as a independent/third party in 2024
He hates to seem like a loser and he also very vindictive. Taking that into account he clearly hates DeSantis and all the republicans who are going to turn their back on him. He knows he would lose a Republican primary. Running as an independent allows him to save face by not losing in the Republican primary. It then allows him to spoil the general election for DeSantis and the Republicans who turned their back on him by siphoning votes away (even if the number is 15%)….and although he won’t win the general, he has built in excuse “I would have won, but Desantis siphoned votes from me”
Split tickets - voters are not as partisan as I thought
I know that spilt tickets were common in the 1970-90s, but during the 2000s and especially recently, in statewide races for POTUS, Senator, Governor, etc the trend has been that a state goes for one party…..But this election there seems to be a lot of split ticket votes….here is another one in Nevada that I find most shocking, the Democratic nominee for AG is outperforming both the Governor and Senator

Edit - oh nevermind….just read about his opponent, she was crazy crazy
Arizona elections and Boebert's election
Pretty ironic that the Republicans are/were behind “after” Election Day, but had no problem with the continued count.
Georgia Senate numbers getting weird
So earlier this morning I looked at the site below and Warnock was at 49.3 with 36,000 outstanding ballots, then about an hour ago Warnock was at 49.5 with 39000 outstanding votes….I am watching MSNBC now and they show Warnock now at 49.6, so I went back to the site and it shows him at 49.6 and there are now even more outstanding votes 44,000….so Warnock’s % is going up and the number of votes left to count is also going up….hell, I know they have already called a runoff I think he can get to 50.1%
