Senate Democrats are feeling frustrated and disappointed as their effort to retake the majority appears to have fallen short once again.
The likelihood of being relegated to the minority for the next couple years hit home Wednesday when Democratic challenger Sara Gideon conceded to Sen. Susan Collins (R) in the blue state of Maine.
While it now appears Democratic nominee Joe Biden will probably eke out a victory in the presidential race, Democrats were hoping for a bigger night — especially after failing to flip the Senate in 2016 and 2018.
John Hickenlooper, the former governor of Colorado and the only Democratic challenger to officially knock off a Senate Republican incumbent on Tuesday, said, “I was hoping that we would sweep to victory with a number of Senate wins.”
“We’re still cautiously optimistic, but it’s not the level of excitement I was hoping to wake up to,” he said.
Other Democratic strategists and aides expressed their dismay.
“I’m very disappointed, of course, but I also think it’s not entirely over. In Georgia, if that other race ends up going to a runoff, we could have two runoff elections in Georgia, which will determine the fate of whether we get to 50-50 or not,” said Mike Lux, a Democratic strategist.
Steve Jarding, a former aide to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, said, “Most people thought that Democrats were going to pick up a couple more of what appeared to be these very vulnerable senators. “
“They’ve got to be horribly disappointed. They thought Biden would pull more. If the polls were remotely right and he could win by 6, 7 or 8 points, that should be enough a margin to pull some of these dead-heat races in for the Democrat,” he said.

Interesting. It looks like a lot voted for Biden, but not any down ticket races....
“Interesting. It looks like a lot voted for Biden, but not any down ticket races....”
Interesting and highly suspicious
Suspicious
Just what I was thinking!
That’s how fake ballots work. They just made them out for president
“It looks like a lot voted for Biden, but not any down ticket races....”
And that has been a consideration when investigating election fraud.
you can bet there is voter fraud in the senate and house races that need to be looked into as well. Would like to see the house flipped
Exactly. The guys in the van, chrsyler 300 and ferrari forgot to vote down ticket on those 138k mysterious MI votes. This all stinks to high heaven.
They only bothered cheating in the Biden-Harris race.
Down tickets don’t pay. Never give away anything for free.
The Dems are in the process of stealing the Senate seat from John James in Michigan. overturning that seat theft is critical or the majority will be at the mercy of the Murkowski-Collins-Romney cabal.
The Rats in Michigan must be RACIST if they voted for Peters over James.Right?
We need a national do-over.
This crap didn’t just take place in swing states.
It takes more time to make out fake ballots that include all the down ticket races. For one thing the down ticket races vary by location.
Perdue is falling below 50% in GA. That means a potential runoff.
BIDEN LOST. That’s why he had no coattails. We are being told Biden won, but he lost.
They only had time to fill in one oval. Do you know how much time it takes create 130K fake ballots?
What you just described is a text book indicator of potential voter fraud.
I think the Trump team is on the right track. Validate the vote, don’t just count it. I would go so far as to add the West Coast states to the validation process. We might get some interesting developments in vote totals in congressional districts.
