    • 54 Senate seats (with two more still possible).
    • 228 House seats (with more to go).
    • 28 governorships (with two more potential pickups).
    • DSA winners across many races
    • Texas going blue even in the State government

    I think there’s one House runoff I saw, but otherwise, Trump and Republicans have given up on the whole “election was rigged” claptrap. It’s a whole new world!

      Oh, they’re going to start with the election rigging bullshit in the next week or so. There’s no way they’ll quietly accept defeat.

        I’m not convinced. It hasn’t been polling well nor getting good reactions, if for no other reason than many voters can’t see beyond their wallet.

          trump doesn’t care about polling, though. If he did he would have stopped showing up and ruining his party’s campaigns.

            I agree that he doesn’t care about polling, but his handlers do; he more or less only cares whether it works, and it simply doesn’t anymore, which his handlers can see in polls but likely dumb down for him.

      Both James and Gina seem pretty serious about getting shit done, which is probably why they won by such a large margin.
