But we needed the senate. Really needed the senate. What does the number sit at now?

Anyone knows? I am so disappointed Graham, Ernst got it and looking like Collins. We got Kelly. Co. dude, that is two. So that takes us to 49/51? Not good. We lose healthcare at that.

There should have been a FULL COURT PRESS to KEEP Doug Jones in Alabama. Period! Money was WASTED on Jamie Harrison. Those are the FACTS.

Is going to be tight. Don't count on it. Peters should have done better BEFORE Detroit was counted. Peters needs prayers at this point. Real Talk.

You are right. The two run offs are going to be the most expensive Senate races in history.

19. Right now, give me Biden and I'll take 51/49 in Senate. At least Biden can reverse executive orders

and issue others. Getting nominations through will be hell, but maybe we'll have to compromise on some other issues to move forward. Not what I hoped for, but . . . . . .
