    Technically 35 are up, two special elections, and only 22 are Republican seats so we could afford to lose 2 of the 35 with the goal of removing Trump. Still doable.

    We could, however, lose 9 of them and still undo citizens united, pass medicaid for all, maybe tax the rich, etc.

    More realistically I think we will see Republicans getting ousted in different ways than electing the DNC whose platform are those reforms I mentioned, instead we will probably see their seats go to moderate independents.



  • Dems are already backing Mamdani, he already won the primary and he is himself a part of the party. Even though Bill Clinton endorsed Cuomo, who served as HUD Secretary under Clinton, he had this to say about Mamdani’s victory:

    “Congratulations @ZohranKMamdani on your victory in yesterday’s primary election and a well-run campaign. I’m wishing you much success in November and beyond as you work to bring New Yorkers together to tackle the city’s challenges and shape a stronger, fairer future”

    ~Bill Clinton, the 42nd president of the United States of America
