You are right. But I guess he did all that because he was down in his internal polls. Claustrum Nov 2020 #11

It would be a flip to red. it's not called yet but the republican already did a victory speech.

he snuck in via the 2018 Blue Wave

he alienated a shedload of Dem voters with his 'I stand with Trump' adverts and 'I have zero allegiance to the Dems' rot

Because it's a red district, he had to go with the independent/republicans.

48 Senate seats, 48 Republican and 2 Independents who always vote with Democrats. All we need is one of the run offs to make 51 for votes, Harris would make one more.

The 48 Democratic seats includes the two independents. The 48 Republican seats does not include the races in Alaska and North Carolina that have not yet been called, but lean decisively toward the Republican candidates.

To control the Senate we need to win both races in Georgia. That will bring us to 50 seats. Kamala Harris' tie breaking vote would put us in the majority.
