If there's a tie in the Senate and Biden wins, since Kamala Harris would be the tie-breaking vote, we'd technically be in the majority, making Schumer majority leader.

We pick up Kelly and Bullock and lose Doug Jones. We still need 2 more. Where are they coming from? Iowa and Maine are not looking good.

Lost AL... there will be at least 1 runoff in GA and I suspect 2 once Atlanta votes come in.

and R is about to take the lead there.

Maine looks done unfortunately.

NC looks done.

So right now it's 50-48 bad guys and we'd need to win both GA special elections, and Ossof looks down by more than Biden and not sure he can knock his opponent under 50.

So to my mind, the best case scenario is 51-49 Republicans.

2022 is a much better map for us in the Senate.
