We have 50 now (counting the two very good Independents who caucus with us). What's your prediction?

That's not a super-majority, but it's enough to get stuff done.

(15,336 posts)I think we'll wind up with 51. We will win PA and WI, but end up losing either GA or NV. However there could be a few extremities.
If we have a perfect night, we could end up with 55/55. If we have an awful night, we could wind up with 48. But as of now I think we'll have a regular night, and end up with 51. Bookmark it.
Sadly, as we pick up Pennsylvania but lose Georgia and Nevada.
