Republicans took back the House and may very well take the Senate.

I can’t believe it was even this close. That tells you something about the direction this country is going.

Real Clear politics has the score at...
Senate: 48R - 46D - 2I
House: 199R - 173D

Thats a big win to move R to 48!

We got Wisconsin and Alaska.

Nevada we are ahead.

Arizona behind but there are 400,000 votes out that are ‘day of / drop off in person’ votes and those are g going 70% Republican so far.

We need to get to 51 before that runoff for Walker!

GA runoff was not kind to us last time around.

Good for Ron Johnson and if McCarthy & Mitch were honorable men they’d resign and take Rona McDaniel with them as they exit the door.

Yep I believe United part of that is over. Blue voters are brainwashed and will vote that way all the at to the poor house. We can co-govern with them

Oh, but it’s all over. Trump blew it for us. I’m done with him. Where’s Ron the Savior???
Seriously, Kari Lake is par to win and Blake Masters as well. There are about 20 outstanding House races that haven’t been called yet. That’s where the focus should be. Didn’t Joe tell us it would take a week to count votes? Why was it OK when he said it about his side but not we we experience it and it may work out in our favor??? Instead there is nothing but surrendering to the Establishment on FR. It’s embarrassing and so negative and unproductive that I doubt I will be back after today.

Two 2020 steal states, WI and AZ, are giving us some wins in 2022.

I credit the hard work of a lot of people in those states.

Pubs will get Alaska, and then just need Nevada or Az to get 50. If they get both they’ll be at 51.

“I can’t believe it was even this close. That tells you something about the direction this country is going.”

With the economy and inflation as bad as it is one would think to give the other party (R’s) a shot at running things.

It’s great that Ron won, but it is truly amazing that we have as much degradation of our society and the public only wants to vote for more of it.

I’m not at all confident about the direction of this country either.

Exactly!

The Republicans did well enough to win back the House and may very well win back the Senate.

WE WON!

No more Nancy Pelosi!

Negativism yes, but really knee-jerks so don't be so offended at them. They'll change their tune when it suits them.

Too bad it was nip and tuck instead of ending with the BANG I think it should have. Still, good news at last.

At least one thing to make us happy. The “red wave” was a pipe-dream.
