I respect James Carville but yes, he is way too optimistic. We need 218 seats in the House and 51 in the Senate for simple majorities. This means we need 3 more seats in the House and 4 more in the Senate than we currently have. Yes, having more would be nice, especially in the House and because of Fetterman in the Senate. In the House, I think we win anywhere between 8-15 seats. In the senate, I like our chances of holding onto GA, NH, MN and MI at this point. I think we have a good chance of winning Maine, North Carolina and Ohio (Yes, only because Trump is unpopular atm). That puts us at 50. Peltola in Alaska is interesting considering Trump's negatives. We need 51. Alaska? Texas? Iowa? South Carolina? Florida? We only need 1 of the 5. This could all change tomorrow.
