Senate: 52-48 (GOP holds onto OH, ME, TX, IA, KS, SC, and flips MI) while losing AK, GA, NH, MN, and NC. I think that the ranked choice voting BS gets Peltola the win in Alaska unfortunately.

House: Democrats get to 220-225 seats, giving them a slim majority that forces them to placate the DSA members.

Kind of a reverse 2022 in essence.

53-47 GOP

219-216 GOP

I think there’s a chance Ossoff doesn’t get to 50% and there is a runoff as well

I just hope the GOP can hold onto the Georgia governor position.

I think the blows sustained by the USAID cash spigot paired with increased deportation enforcement + DOGE reforms at Social Security that's still bearing fruit results in the Dems getting their clocks cleaned. Their fraud pathways are gone in most cases, and the remaining few will result in a sudden case of spontaneously-generating consciences from the Ruby Freeman Urban Democracy Squads of the nation.

RINOs ousted in primaries & GOP wins = MAGA agenda rolls on.

It's the economy, stupid.

MAGA will get wrecked

That would be huge considering Collins has had zero support, and not a single TV ad I've seen. Some PAC is running a single add about Ossoff's hair and make up expenses.

This. I believe Trump’s biggest success was defunding USAID.

A lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth.

Do you think the success of defunding USAID will be enough to offset high gas prices, inflation, and the war in Iran in Midterms?

I know a lot of people on both sides that are pissed off about gas prices, inflation, and the war.
80% of voters have never even heard of USAID.

Senate 50-50 if we're lucky.
House-I think Jeffries will operate with a+ 10 majority.

You didn't answer the question.

Let me guess, I'm a "Panican" because I'm not dumb enough to think that Midterm Voters will be casting their vote based on USAID instead of gas, inflation, and the war in Iran?

I just choose to live in reality.
Sticking your head in the sand isn't going to change a damn thing this November

Yep, the narrative is that it’s just another mid term election that will go against the party in power, not taking into account such things as USAID being cut.

Black turnout is down in both Austin and Dallas, btw, while northern Dallas turnout is double in early voting.

Prediction: GOP flips Ga., Mn., NH & Michigan

Holds NC to make the senate 57-43.

I think they hold the house, slightly, but shame on Indiana for denying +2 and Missouri denying +1

I think Democrats win the House with 230 to 235 seats.

The Senate is tight. I think Republicans close out Ohio, Michigan, Iowa, Maine, and Texas.
Democrats win N.H., N.C., Georgia, Minnesota, Alaska.

That gives Republicans a 52-48 edge.

My Claude project’s current medians are 52-48 Dem control of Senate and 226-209 Dem control of House.

For the sake of the country, I predict that the Republicans hold both houses.

If not, President Trump gets nothing for without EO for 2 years and he vetoes every stupid bill that the Dem controlled houses approve.

Government deadlock.
