No, Alaska is already accounted for. If Walker wins, it will be 50/50 and Dems maintain control.

It is against the law for Republicans to win elections that are tabulated on election DAY. All other elections must be given to dims.

If Walker wins- it will be 50/50

Which is WAY BETTER than 51/49, because although dems have tie breaker, committees will be even

Help in my thinking.

Since the house is majority Republican, if they hold firm against any Radical agenda items then nothing can get passed correct?

The VP is the tiebraker in the Senate so Dems still control - unless Manchin switches and Walker wins runoff.

Even still there would be enough establishment goons to push *most* of the Biden admins agenda through.

Maybe Mitch will convince Manchin to flip.

In theory.

But repubs break ranks all the time. RINOs suck

Simply because we have 2-3 cucks in Senate that will consistently cave.

Republicans need 3-4 seat advantage to make up for those sorry bitches.

Senate control was lost the day after the votes were “counted”. That was clear to me.

Just as importantly, it means that Manchin will AGAIN be stuck between his people and his party. If the Dems go up 51-49, Joe will be able to vote no on everything to keep his constituency backing him (presumably. I'm still not convinced he doesn't lose in two years....as he should.)

Right here is where you overestimated the GOP establishment.

50 Dem seats = a Dem majority because they have the tiebreaker with Harris as VP.

Only if Chuck Schumer decides they will be even. The majority can do whatever the hell it wants as far as committee makeup and rules. They have 51 votes to do anything procedural they want to do.

Dems have control now. VP deciding vote.

However, if Walker wins, then there is always the possibility that Manchin turns on Dems, but also that several notable Senators, like Lurch and Magic Undies sides with Dems.

R'S were fricked by Turtle.

The Democrat Senate majority will be confirming the federal judge appointments and any future Supreme Court nominees. That is very critical.

I think Manchin can be flipped to either Independent or Rep. WV is turning red, he better read the tea leaves.

I'll vote for Walker in December, but I can't compete with the cheating.
