We will have 48 Senators and the Republicans will have 50. What about the 2 independent Senators, King and Sanders? What are their voting records like?

So with Trump gone, and no fear that he can intimidate Republicans, we should see maybe one or two Republicans be more open to negotiating and crossing the aisle?

I would hope so!

and are already included in our numbers totaling the 48.

Therefore if we win the 2 seats in GA it would be 50-50 but we would be the majority party based on the VP being Democratic.

Other than Kamala breaks ties.

But, we still have 4 seats waiting on results.

Alaska (no doubt going Red)
North Carolina with 97% of vote with Tillis holding a 2% lead

Then there are the 2 GA seats which I think we can win with some strategic work.

Can you imagine if we got NC? I am pretty hopeful because, wouldn’t most remaining votes be mail-in? AND don’t Mail-ins go for Democrats?

Anyway, I can dream!
