There are 33 Senate seats up for reelection

[Aviation Pro]

We need at least 61 seats to ensure cloture on any Bill; to keep the child molesting motherfucker from naming any more judges; and to keep the likes of Fetterfuck from becoming the new Tugboat Joe.

I don’t care if seats are in ruby red states, they need to be challenged, every single goddamn one of them.

1. Damn right! MAGA must be flushed!

2. Easy to say but

difficult to convince donors that they aren't just throwing their money away on impossible candidacies. Sure we can field candidates in all the Senate races, but can they really be competitive without money?

3. ????

The Democrats will without doubt try to win every possible Senate seat, but the odds of getting to 60 seats would be more than a trillion to one.

Current chances of Democrats winning the each of the current Republican Senate seats (as of 2 weeks ago):

Idaho 1.3%
West Virginia 1.3%
Tennessee 1.4%
Oklahoma 1.5%
Wyoming 1.6%
Arkansas 1.9%
Alabama 2.1%
Louisiana 2.4%
South Dakota 3.1%
Mississippi 3.7%
Kentucky 4.0%
South Carolina 6.0%
Montana 8.1%
Kansas 15.9%
Florida 17.9%
Nebraska 23.3%
Iowa 25.9%
Texas 32.2%
Alaska 33.3%
Maine 54.5%
Ohio 64.4%
North Carolina 85.6%

Getting a simple majority is still an uphill battle. The thought of 60 seats is an insane fantasy.

10. Does that site's odds continuously go up and down?

They have Ohio at 59.9% Dem, which I still think is high.

11. Yes

Our goal at RacetotheWH is to help our viewers understand the current political landscape. Using our election forecast and polling, they can determine which races are in play and which candidates stand the best chance of winning. We project the outcome of every single House, Senate, Presidential, and Governor race in the nation, and we’ve designed our graphics to make it as easy to use as possible.

Simply put, we've meticulously analyzed each race using our battle-tested election forecast, and we're offering you straightforward insights free of charge. They are updated daily with the latest information and polling.

Track Record:

In 2022, we arguably had the best track record in the nation. While most forecasters were more confident that the GOP would have a strong midterm performance, we were one of only two forecasters to correctly anticipate that Democrats would break historic trends and hold on to the Senate.

We also called the highest number of individual Senate and Governor races correctly and came second in predicting the winner of the House race, trailing FiveThirtyEight by one seat.

4. We only need 52 seats to block nominees from confirmation

(Assuming Fetterman is a loose cannon)

And, in 2029, we will still only need 51 seats to pass legislation reversing the damage from the Trump era, if we elect only senators willing to kill the filibuster (and expand the court).

Support for Killing the filibuster and expanding the court is my personal litmus test for any senate candidate who wants my financial support.

5. Fetterman has voted for a grand total of ONE Trump judge.

On the other hand:

During Trump’s second term, 19 Democrats have voted to confirm at least one of Trump’s nominees. New Hampshire Senators Maggie Hassan and Jeanne Shaheen have voted to confirm six and seven nominees, respectively, and Rhode Island senator Sheldon Whitehouse, who sits on the Judiciary Committee, has voted for five. Among Senate Democrats, Durbin and Virginia Senator Tim Kaine are tied for the lead in this ignominious category with eight yes votes apiece.

Among Democrats on the Judiciary Committee, only Blumenthal, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, and California Senator Alex Padilla have opposed every judicial nominee in committee. Every other member of the committee has decided at least once that they are willing to lend bipartisan credibility to Trump’s judicial appointments—creating the perception that his extreme nominees might not actually be reactionary, election-denial sympathizers who are willing to say whatever it takes to get Trump to entrust them with a lifetime judgeship.

6. Exactly, which is why must only elect senators who won't do that kind of shit. Nt

7. Then quit acting like Fetterman is a problem when it comes to voting for judges

There are lots of things to criticize Fetterman for. His votes on Trump's judges are not one of them. Yet he is the one person you singled out as the reason Democrats need at least 52 Senators as if Fetterman is voting for every Trump Judge when he's only voted for ONE, while people who voted for 8 or 9 were ignored.

[Fiendish Thingy]

8. He is a trouble maker in many areas

Like today’s war power vote.

He will be retired when his term ends in 2028, so he won’t be able to sabotage the next Dem president.

[Wiz Imp]

9. Like I said, there's plenty to criticize him about

But you chose to single him out on an issue where there are about 20 other Democrats more deserving of criticism.
