US Election & Presidency

The votes are still being counted but it looks Pennsylvania is being flipped to the Democracts.
However It's still possible that the Republicans can still make the 50 plus 1 target to win the Senate.

Is that good news or bad news for us?

from the looks of it could be close to call in the senate and tied House with a small chance of republicans taking it

seems all those that trump endoresed have had there arses handed to them at the moment

Trump better start being nice to DeSantis lol

Guess again

He’s already threatened that if DeSantis stands he’ll reveal some stuff about him that would crush his ambitions. Always trust Trump to fight dirty

That was before seeing these results. Now DeSantis looks to be in a stronger position

Some take aways watching CNN this morning

The House will likely go Republican

The Senate is too close to call, if all results match what is happening right now then the Senate goes 50/50 after a Georgia run off in December, VP Harris has the tie breaking vote

With the exception of JD Vance, Trump backed candidates are having a bad night particularly in key battle ground states. Lake and Masters in Arizona & Laxalt in Nevada could change that a bit

Democrats won Independents 49% to 47%, a small margin but this is unprecedented. Independents usually swing against the incumbent party by double digits during midterms, did so in 2010, 2014, 2018.

Ron DeSantis not only won big but won big with Hispanic voters including big cities like Miami. Hispanic voters are a crucial in elections and have been turning away from the Dems

Political Commentator Alice Stewart, reveals that Republican big money donors are getting behind DeSantis including some Trump backers

Will that matter to Trump ? They backed Bush in 2016 he was able to overcome that with a wave of small donations and media coverage over his controversies equating to billions of dollars of airtime

yeah Trump will run he has to keep the law from catching up with him yeah de santis is the major threat to Both Trump and Biden

Russian friend of Putin claiming they were helping the Republicans well if thats the case he should ask them to stop

Actually not a bad night for the Democrats

A nation with at last count had a population of 331.9 million people cannot find two better candidates than Donald Trump and a sleepy old bloke who thinks there are 54 states. It beggers belief.
