What’s the NYTs angle?.........the left ALWAYS has an ulterior motive.
Cautiously optimistic.
No to Thune.
Aren’t they also supposedly at risk of losing the House?
Sure way to get nothing done in the positive.
“What’s the NYTs angle?”
Same as always... to scare their left-wing readership into donating more to the Democrat party.
“Aren’t they also supposedly at risk of losing the House?”
It will certainly suck if we had Trump in the White House, a GOP Senate... and a Democrat House that is impeaching Trump every other month until the next mid-term.
If they don’t get rid of the filibuster it won’t make any difference. All issues regarding the State should be determined with a 50+1 vote, not 60.
The decade’s Red Wave, Part Deux. Sequels tend not to fair as well as the originals.
This should be a foregone conclusion. The question is by how many. If the GOP only gains 2 seats, it will be a disappointment. And they better gain in the House too.

Running against the Oliver Twist Pauper Tester only worth 3.7 million with a large family farm.
What’s the NYTs angle?
When it looks like Dems are going to lose, they send out an all-points bulletin to get out the vote.
Just like like the 'Red Wave' of 2022, IIRC...
See Post 6
Michigan, Debbie Stabenow’s seat is a toss up between Elissa Slotkin (dem, former CIA), and Mike Rogers (rep, former FBI, congressman, state assembly, basically the lions share of his adult life in government). A choice between two candidates, both with a background from agencies that should be abolished. Didn’t it’s for Rogers in the primaries, but I guess it’s hold my nose in November. Slotkin will probably get the win, though.
I can’t envision having the voting win the Senate for the Rs and then that same voting lose the House.
Surprised they didn’t say “Seize Control”.
That’s the current Dem game plan. Trump wins, and it’s Up The Resistance! The media will love it.
The idiot GOP needs to act like they’re down by 50 points. There’s a very real possibility that they go 0-1 in this election.
I’d support getting rid of the filibuster only if the 17th Amendment (direct election of senators) is repealed at the same time.
The filibuster has certainly gummed up some good ideas. But as it is now, the filibuster is also a check against careless federal overreach.
