If Dems pick up one more Senate seat (48/48 tie)

[BigmanPigman]

who chooses the Majority Leader? If Dems are at 47 and there are two Independents that lean Dem. and Harris is the Dem tie breaker does that give us a Dem majority? Harris will likely be replaced by a Dem CA.
Can the two Independ Senators switch to the Dem party to give Dems the Senate Majority?

1. Come On

OSSOFF in GEORGIA!!

[jcgoldie]

2. the independents are included in the 47

The only way we get to 50 is to sweep 2 seats in GA runoffs in Jan.

[BigmanPigman]

5. Damn!!!

Thanks for the info!

[Polybius]

13. Or One in GA and one on NC

Nobody is talking about it, but it hasn't been called.

3. Senate

The two independents, King and Sanders, already caucus with the democrats, are are counted as democrats numerically.

4. If dems + Indpendants 49. Republicans 51 so the republicans would

6. I love the way you think. Thanks.

I can't hope that any Democratic money is spent along the lines you think of, though.

Why didn't the party spend more in battlegrounds? I don't know that they didn't, but it seems that way. Was it covid? Republican aggression? A blindspot?

7. the 48 for Democrats includes the two independents

The four that are left are NC (Tillis is ahead but Cunningham hasn't conceded), Alaska (R is far ahead), and the two races in Georgia. One (Warnock) will definitely go to a runoff. The other (Ossoff) could go to a runoff if Perdue drops below 50% (NY Ties has him at 50.2)

(it is 48 for Dems since the race was just called for Peters in Michigan)

8. Damn!

9. If Sen. Ron Johnson can investigate former V.P. Biden, then

Pres. Biden's DOJ AG can investigate rich dirt being hidden by GOP senators, who have DEM governors who would flip the seats. I know that sounds mean, but it is legal. Think of McConnell's acts as models.

[BigmanPigman]

10. That has cheered me up...

I appreciate it!

[Midnightwalk]

11. The Kentucky governor is Bashear who is democratic right?

Think of McConnell. You nailed it.

[NCjack]

12. Oh, my! I bet Moscow Mitch has some rich dirt associated with his

Russian aluminum plant in KY.

Sure hope we get an energetic and talented AG.
