Do we still have a chance to take the senate

[I_UndergroundPanther]

Is it a long shot?
Or is the Senate elections all done now?

1. Possible runoff in January in GA

Keeping fingers crossed!

[question everything]

2. Two seats, right?

[SheltieLover]

9. I believe so!

[TruckFump]

14. Yes.

Two seats. IMO, Ossoff has a chance against Perdue. Hoping we get both seats.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

3. Yes ..two seats. It would make 50? Tie to Kamala?

[question everything]

19. Any of the charts just show number of R's and Ds but there are 2 I's

that caucus with us

4. we should all start donating asap to the runoffs

it may become the most expensive senate races in history.

[Budi]

6. Yes. This changes the whole game. The Trifecta is within reach!

💙👍

[SheltieLover]

10. Yes!!!

[DonaldsRump]

5. Totally! This is WAR with the R

Don't leave a single stone unturned: cash, time, etc if you have it.

8. K & R THIS ⬆️

Trifecta!!

7. theoretically

It is currently 48-48, with four races uncalled.
1. Alaska (R is far ahead and will win, but they are slow counting),
2. NC (Tillis is ahead but Cunningham hasn't conceded. Mailed votes postmarked by the 3rd can arrive by Nov. 11)
3. and 4. two races in Georgia. One (Warnock) will definitely go to a runoff. The other (Ossoff) will likely go to a runoff if Perdue drops below 50% (likely)

We'd need two of these four. #1 is off the table. #2 is very unlikely given the spread, but good for Cunningham for not conceding.

Unless a miracle happens in NC, we'd have to win both runoff elections. As both had other conservative candidates in the general election syphoning some votes, it won't be easy. But it isn't impossible.

11. I am amazed at how well Joe is doing in GA

Not just in Atlanta, but other places. Remember that every remaining vote for Joe yet to be counted is very possibly a vote for Jon Ossoff, helping to force a run-off.

I agree that it won't be easy, but Joe has a lot more sway in GA then any other Dem. If he goes to GA along with BHO etc for a massive push THROUGHOUT the state, I could easily see us picking up both of the seats.

If this happens, I'll do what I can, either remotely or if possible, in person.

15. I was very pleased to see Tillis below 50%. EOM

[Amishman]

17. There is an outside chance he could still go down

156k remaining in NC, ~100k lead.

all remaining are absentee and provisional - which tend to be bluer than their source county, and the majority of these are from blue counties.

Fairly unlikely, but still possible.

Right now I'd give us a 30% chance of winning NC and 15% of topping Tillis

18. Thank you for the info.

Yeah, chances are not great...but ya never know!

12. Unfortunately Not To Add Justices Or Eliminate Filibuster

Getting to 50 is going to be tough, but 51 and full control seems impossible. I think Ossoff has a good chance though.

[LizBeth]

13. For sure? Because I understand the VP breaks the tie even in deciding majority, not just vote.

That the party in Presidency will then declare majority of senate and of course we would say Democratic. So why wouldn't they have the majority for Justices?

[Amishman]

16. given the history on it, it does not appear to be that clean cut for other areas

https://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/politics/303644-even-steven-how-would-a-50-50-senate-operate

article from 2016 on this scenario.

after 2000 when there was a 50/50 senate, an interesting power sharing deal was struck, particularly surrounding committee assignments. I would think this would be a likely model to follow.

Assuming we can pull off both GA special elections - historically the Pubs have done well with the runoffs.

If we do get to 50, for controversial measures like abolishing the filibuster for legislation, adding judges, adding states, etc - we won't have the votes. I cannot imagine getting Manchin, Tester, Kelly, Ossoff, and Warnock to go along with it given their purple to red states.
