Dems have 46 Senate seats, GOP has 48

[BigmanPigman]

Does this include the Independ Senators King and Sanders as "Dems"?

1. No

[stopbush]

2. 47 now. Peters won.

[OregonBlue]

3. Doesn't Peters in MI give them 47 so far?

[relayerbob]

4. Yes, I believe so

[dixiechiken1]

5. Yes.

Georgia's 2 Senate seats not yet decided. Looks like both might go to run-off(s).

Edit: Sorry, I'm wrong. As others have said, Peters in MI makes it 47 Dems.

6. Dems have 47 now.

AND Kamala Harris is the Vice President!

[BigmanPigman]

8. That is what I was hoping to hear...Harris will be the deciding vote

if Joe wins.

I wonder who we will lose in the Senate if some of the Dems are put on Biden's cabinet.

7. Is there still a chance for us to get the Senate?

To at least get 50?

13. You have to somehow pull out two wins from Cunningham in NC which is unlikely,

Or the 2 GA runoffs (Ossoff one isn't sure to go runoff yet). To be honest, I see little to no chance to do it. Our better chances were Collins, Cunningham and Urnst seats and none of them materialized.

9. I see no path for us to take the Senate.

I hope I'm wrong, but if we get Biden, I can handle it. Sure, legislation and judicial picks go nowhere. But the slip into dictatorship is averted. That's my biggest issue on this one.

11. Run offs n/t

[KentuckyWoman]

12. I hope so. I really do.

15. We got our wish

17. Well hot diggity.

Now it begins again.

[Budi]

10. Good to know VP Kamala Harris will be the tiebreaker vote should it ever come to that

💙👍

14. We have 48 total with those two

We always needed three net given the loss in Alabama if we won the WH.

We are at net 1 right now, so we need two more, NC probably isn't happening so basically we need Ossof to get to a runoff and then win both runoffs.

A heady challenge.

16. If we can get it to 49 with two from Georgia..

the Independents will vote with us.

McConnell won't be able to just ram anything through.

Right?
