Kansas, Ohio, Alaska, Iowa and Texas are in the crosshairs as Democrats hope to flip the two additional GOP-held seats they need along with well-known targets of Maine and North Carolina.

IMO, Chuck Schumer represents everything I can think of for why so called "swing" voters chose MAGA over Dems in '24.

Schumer should step down regardless, but especially if Dems take the Senate.

He won't.

I'm holding out that the majority of those planning on--or have already voted, do so with the understanding that their votes have never counted more. I hope common sense carries the day, despite the sure knowledge that there will definitely be predictable Trumpian skullduggery once it's undeniable that America has resoundingly rejected not only the oddly-coifed derrire aficionado, but his chosen sycophantic enablers on the ballot as well.

Why are we wasting time counting ballots? Everybody already knows the Republicans WON the 2026 midterms in a historic landslide! ALL 50 STATES!

I am officially declaring victory for EVERY Republican candidate right now. Every Senate seat, every House seat, every governor's race. The Democrats can count all they want, but it won't change the fact that we won.

If the Democrats claim to have won even one race, we will immediately contest the results. Every state, every county, every vote. I have already put the United States Supreme Court on notice.

They better be prepared, because we will not accept anything less than a complete Republican victory!

We won everything. A total landslide. The biggest midterm victory in American history! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
