You posted it before I could. If Walker wins in Georgia I expect Munchie will refuse to caucus with other Senator Democrats.
Unless Bill Gates tells him otherwise.
Since Democrat control of the Senate is already determined, the time for Manchin to switch parties is now.
If Manchin switches now and Republicans take a 51-49 majority into the lame-duck session, that makes the Georgia run-off important again.
We need the Georgia race to be the fight for the Senate in order to motivate the voters to turn out. I'm afraid they will sit out Walker now that the race is inconsequential. If Republicans go into the run-off with a 51-49 lead, then Georgia will decide if the Senate goes 52-48 for the GOP or goes back to a 50-50 Senate with the Harris tie-breaker.
That should force a huge Georgia turnout, and bring out the big players for Walker.
