  With 99% counted in some districts, they already won the house and flipped 2 difficult Senate seats, so its basically guaranteed house and senate majority.

  Probably not more than 55 senate seats at most, but thats up from 45+2 so yeah.

    This has been a huge flip year. I only hope that Congress actually uses its power and keeps the momentum going. I hope this is our generation’s 1930. I hope '28 is Blue Tsunami 2: Electric Boogaloo. I hope we have >40 years of Republican irrelevancy. I hope we get a 21st century New Deal. I hope there’s a future for the kids of today, including the ones I don’t have yet. I hope they grow up in a world that is good and wholesome and nurturing.

      Yeah but since its not a filibuster beater and Trump still has Veto power unless between 6 and 12 Republican Senators grow a spine (won’t happen) it’s more likely just a lame duck congress.

      Still, we can always write our senators to nuclear option the filibuster rules and pass healthcare and overturn citizens united. Just don’t make unreasonable expectations for 2028 voters to be disappointed by.
