Democrats Just Hit a Midterm Polling Milestone in the Battle for the Senate With Midterms Less Than 60 Days Away​

Decision Desk HQ gives the Democrats a 67% chance of taking back control of the House of Representatives, but the Senate has been consistently seen as safely in Republican hands until the latest projection.

Some Republicans have already been sounding the alarm.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) admitted last week he feared Dems would take the Senate.

The conservative named nine states he believes the Dems can take — and take control of the Senate — during a podcast appearance with with ex-Trump press secretary Sean Spicer.

“[With] the Senate, I’m really worried,” Cruz said. “North Carolina, the numbers are rough, Georgia the numbers are rough, but we have very competitive races in Maine, Iowa, Ohio, Alaska, Nebraska, Kansas, Texas. I mean, all of those races are within a couple of points of each other. So it — I hope it’s not — but it could be a really rough election.”

Democrats Just Hit a Midterm Polling Milestone for Senate

Control of the Senate in the midterm elections is no longer a foregone conclusion, according to Decision Desk HQ, which changed its forecast for the chamber.

A potent issue for the Democrats in this year's election. The high cost of diesel is deeply impacting agriculture.

As the great sage Pete Kegsbreath once said...F.A.F.O.

Unless something major happens from now until election to sway, at the very least the Dems will control the house

There will be massive oversight and corruption subpoenas I'm sure

Idiot Kavanaugh tried but failed.



Why is it that judges picked by dem president never give dem president any trouble unlike judges picked by republican presidents! GOP will hold the senate and likely the house thanks to redistricting but if they don't it's still a win for Orangeman he will keep the senate and the power to appoint federal judges. More seats lost by dems for 2028 because of redistricting, 2026 could be the last time in a while they take the house and 2026 isn't looking good for them.

A black Democrat in Michigan actually gets it:

Socialist politicians are 'more racist than the KKK,' says Black Dem official urging voters to ditch El-Sayed

Karen Whitsett slams Abdul El-Sayed and Democratic Party leaders she says take Black voters for granted, calling out his ties to Hasan Piker.

Her comment regarding Al Sharpton is particularly intriguing. For years I've said that Sharpton and Jackson colluded with white Democrat power brokers to keep blacks as a voting bloc on the plantation in exchange for a bit of power.

She is not seeking re-election in 2026 and seems to be preparing for a new gig as a right wing influencer for hire.

To this day, Al sharpton has never apologized for the tawana broly incident

Yes, I knew she was retiring. I doubt a right wing influencer is part of her career path.

Over the years, I've been consistent in my message that Jackson and Sharpton have done more to enrich themselves by keeping blacks on the Democrat plantation than they have to actually help the black community.

A former neighbor of mine was a retired USAF CMS and as conservative as anyone. Oh, and black.

Still owes a lot of taxes as well.

She wants to cash in on the conservative media grift maybe?
