Democrats see a clear path to winning back the House majority in next fall’s elections, even as their worries grow that they could lose their hard-fought Senate majority.

Senate: looks like Ds concede WV to Rs, and consider Arizona (a possible three-way race), Ohio and Montana to be toss-ups. There are several other pootentially competitive races according to their thinking, only one of which - Texas - is a seat we are defending.
House - Ds think they have a good chance of taking back the House. They think they're favored for George Santos' seat (NY-2), that there are maybe a dozen and a half toss-up seats around the country, and that they could pick up three or four seats due to the recent Supreme Court ruling on racial gerrymandering.
McTurtle, Shooomer....
What’s the ‘diff???
All the same to the DSC.
I would take getting the Senate back if losing the house, because of all the judicial nominations that run through there, and besides that, anything the house passes has to get through the Senate anyway, but obviously it would be ideal to keep the house.
Can this country be clueless enough to continue putting in power the party that wants to trash our Republic along with it’s Constitution and impose a Socialist government? Voters should look at what has happened to Venezuela to see how Socialism treats the common folks.
I have not looked at the individual Senate seats up, but have heard, that the Democrats have a tough map to defend in 2024.
With such a narrow majority, the Democrats can’t afford to lose too many.
Yes I know Collins, Murkowski and a few others are not reliable conservative Republicans, but just saying, there are possibilities to tip the balance.
The House will likely go the same way as the POTUS race (assuming a fair count)
Yes.
democrats should be seeing GLOOM EVERYWHERE!!!! Worst president EVER!
I know everyone raw raw the affirmative action and the website decisions. But I think the gerrymandering decisions will do long lasting damage to the country. I almost wish we got the gerrymandering cases.
We could have a Speaker Hakeem become POTUS Hakeem if they remove the current Executive branch morons.
If the Republicans won 90 seats in the U.S. Senate, their first order of business would be to pass a rule that requires 91 votes to end a filibuster.
I’d agree I’d 2022 went our way. That was a disaster of epic proportions. Is it any wonder the democrats aren’t to worried.
I agree. We lost bigly on the redistricting cases.
They’ll only understand it when they have their first bowl of Sugar Frosted Bug-Crunchies!
LOL. Trump’s coattails are going to be huge. His coattails in ‘20 were huge and he “lost”.
Next fall’s elections
Monte Hall turns light on stage is set.
The Banana Boater Voters have it all under control with their millions of extra ballots. The far-left Dung Beetle turd rollers have nothing to worry about. Remember the midterms. Failed “tsunamis” are the new norm for the GOP. The Dung Beetles have the illegal invaders and the retarded far left snowflakes with diplomas making sure the communists and socialists win.
Once Wisc. Supreme Court flips far left in August session, redistricting is first case teed up. Figure on losing 2 seats (WI -1 and WI 3) and possibly a third (WI-6) with extension of uber blue Dane and Milwaukee County voters into these districts.
Also Assembly in for a rude surprise. Many Vos minions will now find themselves in competitive races and with feckless Ronna Romney minion RPW Chair Brian Schimming, they will find a way to lose bigly... Flag this for future I told you so when scanning the wreckage Nov. 6, 2024
“House - Ds think they have a good chance of taking back the House.

Dozen and a half? LOL. Try something more like 60, with the recently approved Democrat gerrymandering adding even more to that number (all of which favor GOP defeats, of course).
If the Republicans in North Carolina eventually get off their asses and do unto the Democrats what is being done to the Republicans in Alabama and soon to be Louisiana, South Carolina, New York, Ohio and who knows where else, then they stem the upcoming Democrat tide by maybe 2 or 3. Not nearly enough to keep the House.
In the Senate, WV should be an almost guaranteed pickup and every other allegedly golden opportunity (MT, OH, AZ) is a tossup at the very best, or in some cases not even a tossup (WI, MI). NV is somewhere in between a tossup and a ludicrous pipe dream. At least that’s how everything stands at this time.
Those who are ignorant of political and demographic trends in Texas probably think Cruz will cruise, but he won’t. However maybe he’ll at least win, and that’s good enough. No other GOP Senate seats should be in serious jeopardy at all.
We should have had 54 senate seats now. No changes in election laws. Expect more of the same.
