    I firmly believe they won't lose the midterms. They'll drum up a couple months of propaganda on CNN and squeak past the finish line.

    Fact is that Dems only have 1 Senator who's probably going to lose - Warnock in GA against former NFL star Herschel Walker - but the Dems has at least 3 close races to watch for a potential gain - PA, WI and FL. If they get the abortion voices really loud they could win all 3 imo. I also think the House will retain a slim Dem majority due to redistricting, which in many states is done by an independent committee rather than state legislatures.

      I still think they lose the House but yeah no way a massacre is going to happen. As you said redistricting has gone in their favor, the number of competitive seats have gone down, and they don't hold enough seats for there to be big losses anyway.

          Democrats don't turn out in Mid-terms, Republicans do. Taking Florida during a non-presidential year just doesn't seem possible, especially when conservatives a moving to FL and think Biden is commie satan.

          Like, isn’t the last election Florida have pretty high turnout because that the “ultimate one” according to the dem, and in the end Trump win it by a handful. At this point, can’t really assume that register dem at Florida going to vote in line with the party especially the demographic and the peoples in that state.

        Nah, they have a very good chance in FL, unless you believe that Floridians actually like DeSantis. Rubio is running against Val Demings, a black moderate cop married to a cop, good odds Dems take it imo.

            Cubans are a relatively small part of Florida, and shrinking. Plus the younger generation does not have the same biases, they lean Dem.

              Yea, about that. After the last election, highly doubt it.

                Last election was due to Facebook failing to flag/remove fake news in Spanish. That problem has been fixed.

                  lol, you can't change peoples mind two years just like that, especially with the dem abysmal performance right now, and it's not only facebook, it's also local tv too spreading fake news.

                    Dems don't have a dismal performance right now. We have the strongest economy, ever, and the GOP is making an unprecedented attack on Democracy, not to mention the threat to abortion rights.

      So if the Democrats pick up senate seats, who are the democrats that join Sinema and Manchin in roadblocking Build Back Biden and new voting rights bills?

        You won't even know their names. Every time someone says their name on TV, the Peanuts adult chatter will be played over it.

        BBB will pass as soon as inflation calms down. No one will stonewall voting rights after the Midterms.
