39. Nervous But Optimistic
Fri Nov 1, 2024, 09:01 AM
Nov 2024

I'm nervous, but cautiously optimistic. I think that we're going to get a few good surprises in the Senate race and will hold the Senate. (Loss of WV, but pickup in either TX or FL). I think we'll win the House, too. I think that people are just tired of the Crazy Caucus. I think we'll see a few of the Free-Dumb Caucus go.

A part of me is still wondering which country my husband and I should flee to if the worst happens.
