Vanity: Can Democrats Get to 60 Senate Seats in 2028
Vanity ^ | November 4, 2026 | Me

Posted on 11/04/2026 2:59:20 AM PST by C19fan

Right now the Democrats have 54 Senate seats. There are two elections not decided yet: Alaska and Mississippi. Suppose they win those then we get to 56. In 2028, the GOP has to defend 19 Senate seats vs 15 Democratic seats. The GOP seats are from: AL, AK, AR, FL, ID, IN, IA, KS, KY, LA, MO, NC, ND, OH, OK, SC, SD, UT, and WI. It is very conceivable the Democrats can flip four of those from perhaps the Midwest seats and NC. I do not see any vulnerable Democratic seats except for perhaps NV and GA. Fetterman is up for re-election so he is going to draw a primary challenge. If the Democrats get to the filler buster proof 60 and win the White House then it will be Game Over.

With Democrats gaining those Senate seats in places like South Carolina, they are setting themselves up with once in a generations chance to fundamentally remake the country as they did in 1932 and 1964.

Americans were pissed about Trump’s handling my of the Warvand the Economic my. Democrats were smart to run on affordability. Now the craziness will come out full fledged. We have to double down; more Nationalist, we just decoupled aid to Israel, good, all bad should end. Give the young Generations a stake in the Nation rather than goobalism. This happens my is just begining.

I don’t see Dems really doing anything that people might support in the long run. The problem is demographics.

The South Carolina seat seemed to have so much to do with Lindsay Graham (RIP) and his network of friends and friends of those friends and why his sister was chosen as the candidate. Perhaps the Democrats will be that kind of real disappointment so that by 2032, that seat in particular can be taken back with the Repubs playing (hopefully) their cards right.

This guy claim that a migrant caravan is leaving southern Mexico:

Trump can probably stop them at the border, but if the dems go nuclear there will be 10s of millions on the way.

That seat’s lost for 6 years. Incumbency will favor guess who? If we lost Texas we won’t get it back in 2 years.

There will be no winnable turnover seats. Perhaps Sherrod Brown’s seat that finished JD’s original term.

Democrats are going to win everything from now on. It’s the Governors that will make it so. Once a state goes blue, it stays blue and gets even more blue. I’d say by 2032 the Democrats will win their second presidency in a row, have 64 Senators and 300 in the House.

Here is what is guaranteed over the next 8 years:

Gun confiscation and no more purchases
No free speech. Control of all media
Climate Change restrictions
Reparations
DEI hiring enforcement

Not sure if Democrats are going to win everything. The story, “To Shoot an Elephant” continues to come my mind. Democrats will have to produce. Trump has the economy running well. Will Democrats screw it up or leave it alone and claimed they fixed it? It is like catching a tiger by the tail.

What I’m trying to wrap my mind around is this:

In 2024, when economic conditions were just as bad, worse actually, as it is now, the democrats just barely lost the House and retained the Senate.

Democrats never seem to pay a real political price for bad governance, but everybody and their momma holds Republicans accountable.

Maybe I’m out of touch as a 40ish year old, but I was expecting losses and close races, but I wasn’t expecting this. The GOP and conservatives have, most likely, once chance to salvage this and after that I don’t see it being likely. The democrats won’t hesitate to eliminate the filibuster and remake the United States into their socialist dream.

I do blame some of this on establishment republicans rebelling in an act of childishness by submarining the Trump agenda. The rest is on Trump for not handling Iran correctly. Either he should have got the job done, or never have gone in the first place.

Trump will double down. That’s all he knows. Iran is unsolvable without troops on the ground. Fuel is going to stay expensive keeping inflation high. I hope the dems can’t flip a few repubs on impeachment. If he survives impeachment the dems will Bolsonaro/Berlusconi him.

The demons can do what they want…it proves in this age of information, propaganda works.
The only way to get this country back is a great awakening to Christ…period!
After these leftists ruin the country, and it will happen by 2030. There’s no hope in this system but there’s always hope in Christ!!!

SC appears to be traveling the same road as GA & NC. As the folks from the Northeast & northern Midwest move to escape the fiascos they created there, they move to better states and proceed to vote in the same kinds of people and policies that ruined their former homes. Some people just never learn.

I was thinking the same thing and all I could come up with is the propaganda from every direction favoring these demons.

When media says 24/7 that the world is going to end, idiots believe it. Sadly, when God is removed, common sense is removed and people have to fill that Godless void with something. They fill it with propaganda…it gives them some sort of meaning.

I’ve said already, but unless there’s a great awakening of Christ soon, it’s over.

They won’t need to get to 60. The filibuster will be dead by mid January.
