If we were to get to 55 then 60 would be very possible to get to in 2024.
Yup
60 minus 10 RINOs = 50 Or,not enough.
We have never been anywhere near 60 seats in the Senate. Let's not make things up.
***addendum - we did back in 1907-1911, but not anywhere near 60 in recent history.

Back in the early 1900s we did.
But certainly not anywhere near that “a few years ago” as he claimed.
Repeal of the 17th Amendment would do it. The GOP controls the legislature of 30 states. Under the original Constitution, the state legislatures select US Senators. So without the 17th Amendment, the GOP would have at least 60 Senators. Probably more, because Democrats control the legislature of only 17 states.
That was just a few years ago, young fellah.
I wasn’t making anything up.
Was suggesting that even if we got 60..10 of them would be RINOs
Birdbrain biden was on his second term as senator in 1910.
