US 2026 Midterm Elections Thread

[Shags202]

Democrats in the Senate, assuming they reach 56 votes, are only 4 votes shy of filibuster proof strength.

Your going to have at least several moderate republicans who are going to fear for reelection bids that will join Dems

Vance can't be fired and even Trump would be careful not to be publicly go against Vance. If Vance really wants to remain 'relevant' politically and try to go for POTUS 2028 then he has the luxury now to openly 'rebrand' himself: He could still be seen against illegal immigration--which is a major major issue in America. He could still be seen against schemes like H1Bs visa and against the 'Welfare Queens'. By doing those, he wins the trust of a large sections of the Americans. And by disengaging from wars for Israel and from the Russia-Ukraine war, he brings in more Americans into his tent. You can almost count on Democrats to screw up with DEI and pro illegal immigration policies.
For Vance: It is Now or Never. What's he got to lose? He is currently toast politically anyway unless he decides a different course of action: A bold departure from the past.
