Gaetz and Walz seats.
If you live in these districts, prepare to vote.
Two easy wins coming right up in two heavy GOP districts.
But if the Republican wins by less than a landslide the liberal media will declare “moral victory” for the Rats like they always do (e.g last year in Ohio), LOL.
These are house seats??
Yes. Vacated.
Yes. US House seats.
Does it look as though both Republican candidates will win? We also need to pay major attention to the Wisconsin Supreme Court race & legislative race in Pennsylvania which could switch chamber control to Democrats! 😉
It would be an upset of gargantuan proportions if the Republicans failed to hold either of those congressional seats in Florida.
Wisconsin’s election next week is very likely to have a bad outcome. Which will then result in 2 House seats in that state flipping to the Rats in 2026 after the Court gerrymanders the districts.
In PA there are 2 elections today, neither of which will alter control. The Republican should easily hold the Senate seat in the Lancaster area; the Democrat will easily hold the House seat in the Pittsburgh area (just down the road from me, figuratively).
If the Republicans could pull off the upset (but there is no chance of that, in this particular ghetto district) it WOULD flip the PA House to the GOP.
But vote against that snake Randy Fine. He needs to be gone.
I’m voting from St. Johns County next Tuesday. Care to explain why he is a reptile?
The one I’m concerned about is Elise Stefanik’s seat in NY 22.
I thought she would resign after the Dem Rep died a couple of weeks ago since it gave Speaker Johnson an extra margin. She could then take her job at the UN. But she’s still in Congress.
I’m concerned the Democrat could win that seat. That seat fell to the Dem’s after the GOP lost the House in 2006. I believe Elise won it in 2010. The Democrat who wants that seat is a dairy farmer and a real BS artist. He’s flapping his gums about what a hard-working, middle class moderate he is. Yea, as if I’ve never heard that baloney before. I’m not sure who the GOP candidate will be. GOP can’t afford to let the Rats back up off the mat.
I got it wrong. Stefanik was elected in ‘14. The Dem named Bill Owens who held that seat had won it in a special election in ‘09. He was re-elected twice. He did not run in ‘14. Stefanik easily beat the Dem in ‘14.
Since Owens took that seat in a special election, it could happen again this year if the GOP is napping.
That NY district now is not the same as it was then.
The lines are different enough to make it, currently, much more Republican than it was when Owens was able to win it thanks to a spiteful “moderate” b!tch (Dede Scozzafava, who was foisted upon us by dimwit Newt Gingrich) when she took just enough votes away from conservative Doug Hoffman in 2009 to swing the district over to the Rat.
The district was rated as “even” back then, and now it’s about R+9.
OTOH....
In today’s election in PA, for a state Senate seat in the Lancaster area (which I said above the GOP “should easily hold”.... that’s an R+9 district too. And the Republicans appear to have blown it. It’s been nearly HALF A CENTURY (if not more) since the Republicans lost that district.
Special elections at the state legislative level are not necessarily bellwethers — they sure weren’t in 2023-24 — but this is not a good sign at all. And what happens in Wisconsin next week won’t be a good sign either, barring a substantial upset.
Turnout means everything in a close race in a special election. Democrats are, as usual, motivated and organized (and well funded). Republicans, as usual, are none of those things.
District 1 is my neck of the woods.
Deep Red Redneck Riviera
(R) Jimmy Patronis will win in a landslide
Expected you to disappear. I’m a 20+ year Freeper. Of course I piss people off because I think for myself.
I’ve met Fine and talked for 2 minutes. He gave me his cell phone number. It works. Do you have the Demrat’s cell phone?
I’m old and ornery. I trust no one except extended family. There are infiltraitors. If you can’t provide links you are garbage.
