2. I know I had posted the list of who was up in 2024

amidst all the media armageddon bullshit talk about the "Disarrayed Dems who would be shellacked and better 'worry' in 2024". And except for maybe one or two potential nail-biters, the rest who are on there are not likely to be jettisoned from their seats.

Here are the "Class 1" Senate seats up in 2024 -

Democrats

Baldwin, Tammy (D-WI)
Brown, Sherrod (D-OH)
Cantwell, Maria (D-WA)

Feinstein, Dianne (D-CA)
Gillibrand, Kirsten E. (D-NY)
Heinrich, Martin (D-NM)
Hirono, Mazie K. (D-HI)

*recent switch since my earlier post

The FUD is that no matter what "red state", the GOP will always have an easy go at it but if you are a blue or purple state, then Democrats "have a tough map" (even if it is CA ), where the bottom line, after all the propaganda crap spewed from that reporter's mouth, was that "3 seats" negate the other 17 seats that are almost shoo-ins (not counting the now 3-Is).

3. Thanks.

Hope this helps give an idea where the Pro Democracy Center and PD Campaign might keep at their ground game.

4. Since that map came out

Oregon is a Democratic trifecta and Nevada is also a Democratic trifecta.

AZ should be "gray" (like KS and PA) with split control (including a (D) Governor, although in PA's case, we also gained one chamber of the state legislature).

5. So even Rachel had it wrong with only MA, MD, MN and MI. Ballotpedia is consistently out of date.

I can only find one updated map that describes your outcomes, but it won't upload. Oh well, I tried.

6. OR & NV were listed as "TBD" on that map

but you can just do a count using the state websites.

OREGON

Oregon Governor (D)
Oregon State House Democrats
Oregon State Senate Democrats

NEVADA

Nevada Governor (D)
Nevada State Assembly
Nevada State Senate

(can sort by party above to make it easier to count)

7. So by this count we now have 16 trifecta states? Correct?

[BumRushDaShow]

8. Yup.

And that map had mentioned the 4 "new ones" (but not counting OR and NV that already were before but reconfirmed it once the races were settled). I just looked at an "older" Ballotpedia map (although it claimed the date was as of December 15 but I bet that is just automatically generated date) that indicated "14 Democratic trifectas" but didn't include Michigan or Minnesota, both of which flipped control in a chamber.
