So what's the bet...they go 52D-48R for the final prediction for the Senate?
Susan Collins retiring (which was surely an option) should also be on this list.
I do not think Scott loses, but I do think this prompts him to retire in 2028.

We are officially kicking off my 2026 election night guide, with predictions in all Senate/Gov/House seats. We start with the "A" states, including the critical AK Gov/Sen elections, as well as 2 flip opps in AZ & an endangered Dem incumbent in Alabama: theworldofjot29.blogspot.com…
You're also not going to have a chance to beat Hinson again in an increasingly red state.
And as a general rule it's not a great idea to let a talented 43-year-old former newscaster of the other party get into an ideal national launchpad if you can help it.
Is this the day the race has shift to Lombardo being the underdog?
There's virtually no sign here that is good for the GOP-seems likely all three of their statewide offices are at serious risk.
The Equality Act, possibly the best way to get equal rights for trans people, is a 1000x more likely to pass with Josh Turek in the Senate than Ashley Hinson, and leaving your ballots blank means you don't care about reality.
Because with Turek it'd actually get a vote.
Wikipedia pages should ALWAYS be the first thing that show up. I don't care if someone is trending for some major event and has a thousand news articles in the past week...I still want their Wikipedia page first.
There are a lot of problems with this, but perhaps an underrated one: wouldn't this be a seismic pay cut for Minaj?
NEW: Nicki Minaj for press sec has a chance of actually happening, but the timeline is unclear.
However, the way my sources are talking about it gave me the impression that this is a genuine live ball. straightfromthehut.substack.…
Trump's bizarre hatred of Minnesota because it refuses to vote for him so he can claim he was better than Ronald Reagan is one of his more narcissistic recurring complaints.
Trump sets the stage to interfere in Minnesota's elections: "Let's all get behind Michele Tafoya in Minnesota. She's running a great race. Don't allow them to play with the Votes after the race is over. The Federal Government will be watching closely. The only way she can lose is if they cheat by playing games with the Ballots as they come in. We can't allow that to happen, because I won Minnesota three times, but they didn't give me the Victories, and Minnesota hasn't been 'won' since 1972, when Richard Nixon claimed the trophy. Michele Tafoya has my Complete and Total Endorsement to be the next Senator from the Great State of Minnesota — She will not let you down! President DONALD J. TRUMP"

Found it @RealDonaldTrump – where’s my $1 million?
You can wire it straight to the 10,000 election workers who are volunteering their time to protect against your efforts to steal the midterms.
NEW: Trump is offering $1 million to anyone who reports cases of "voter fraud" in the midterms or past elections that lead to a conviction.
It's his latest attempt to present rare cases of illegal voting as a widespread problem that threatens U.S. elections. demdock.com/4zSmNC2
Really curious how Vance swearing in El-Sayed is going to go in January.
Also-Vance has weirdly totally just skipped this constitutional task. He swore in Moody & Husted, but not Armstrong or Graham.
This is a federal crime. If I did this, I would be in jail.
So I expect to see that the creators and people who allowed this system to do this should also go to jail.

Someone ask her what flavor of free bread is the best at the Cheesecake Factory.
Guarantee it ends with this.

No Democrat has held a House seat since Pat Williams retired in 1996.
That's the longest present streak for a state going without a House Dem save for Wyoming.
