Crazy idea, right?

(4,540 posts)WI, PA, and MI just puts in it Congress and thats a Trump wins 26-24.
Although 25-25 is a possibility.

(3,003 posts)JMO of course, but there's no recent history to suggest it will. GWB carried it by very small margins and it hasn't swung red since - even though tRump was an incumbent in 2020. So, why would anything change this time around?
Also I think PA will not be as close as current polls show. Can't imagine a popular incumbent losing his "home state".
Wisconsin is the big question mark, IMO. That's why the Gross Old Party is holding their convention there. Razor-thin margin in 2020, but the power of incumbency will hopefully hold the line. If not, and GA and AZ swing back, then we lose.
I'm optimistic that won't happen.
