I think at least one major decision desk probably has an order in that they can call the race as soon as Biden officially passes Trump in the PA vote count.
My lukewarm take - almost no ticket splitting and we get D/D or R/R nearly 100% of the time.

Which is scheduled for what, 2025?
The general, was saying get used to saying President Elect Biden.
And yeah, weāve all known itās over but we are not the majority of people who wonāt believe itās over until the news starts saying it.
CNN reporting that ballots in PA that arrived after E-day are still shrink wrapped and havenāt been counted yet

Probably right. Perhaps Iām being naive.
It just strikes me that Loeffler is clearly the most detestable candidate of the 4, and there will be voters who want to make sure Dās donāt control the Senate, even if they like Warnock.
Aside from moving to Georgia in the next three weeks, how can we be the most impactful on the run off elections?
Similarly, what 2022 Senate races should we be focusing our efforts on early?
Was really hoping that Biden would end up winning Georgia by one vote so I could bust out that Herman Cain trollface meme, but nothing is going right this year.

They should count them now and again at the end
Open seats in Pennsylvania and North Carolina are the most obvious targets to flip.
Grassley might retire in Iowa.
Ron Johnson in Wisconsin has gotta go.
Not sure itās worth going after Marco.
Weāll see what happens regarding Warnock vs Loeffler, but that seat is going to be competitive either way.

Unless the outstanding votes are from right-wing areas, looks like Biden gets Georgia. Of course heāll have to sweat military votes as well. Might not have Georgia called until the middle of next week at this rate.
Pennsylvania looking very Biden-ish. Trump only catching up in Arizona.
Not sure if we find out who wins today lol
Yeah, I turned the TV off when I saw that.
thanks Magic

We also will have to defend Kellyās seat in AZ. I could see that certainly being in play.
And seats in NV/NH which will likely be competitive in a midterm election cycle.

Who was the last prominent incumbent R senetor to lose a seat in a red state?
I think D should stop trying to get those. I already see how they waste 50m failing to beat Rubio
Outing the republican candidates as pedophiles seems to help win tough Senate seats. Barring that, I guess donations.
As for 22, there are potentially flippable seats in purple states such as WI, PA, OH, NC, IA, and FL. The GA and AZ special winners are also back on the ballot. Most of the Dem seats are in solid blue states. The only tough ones will be AZ and NV.
Can someone explain why the US is so evenly split and has been for a long time?
There is nothing inherently natural about a 50/50 split with a sample size of 160m. In fact, wouldnāt you expect anything but a near perfect split with that sample size?
