By looking at all of those race odds, GOP is heavily favored to retake both chambers and grabs great majority of gubernatorial races from this midterms. Republicans are going to be exuberant tomorrow and going forward.

Heavily favored for the HOUSE, yes.   Only marginal favs for the Senate, but personally I anticipate the GOP gaining 2 seats there, for a 52-48 majority.

This "House turnover" is now accepted as a common and expected occurence during the first midterms of a new president.  Should be of no surprise.   Turnout is typically significantly lower by voters whose party has the WH.  My belief is that there is no compelling urgency for those voters to get out and vote for the President's party (whether GOP or Dem) because they know that regardless the results on midterm election day, a flipped congress can do very little with veto power still in the President's hip pocket.  That all changes of course after his term is up!  But during midterms, it's a thing.  Thus, despite all the hype about issues, it isn't about issues.  The flip comes almost entirely due to turnout numbers.  The president's party have less reason to go out and stand in EXTREMELY long, gerry-mandered lineups to defend the President's party when in truth he still has control (with veto power)!  Meanwhile the losers come out in full force because they are still bummed they LOST two years earlier.  By winning the HOUSE, a party can effectively "gridlock" government for 2 years.  Their tactic then is to use the fact that nothing good happened during those final two years as a major talking point to make the President and his party look like  failures!  This hurts America, of course, which is a bad thing, but politically it's sound strategy.

Anyway that's why I have placed nearly $27,000 in bets on the republicans!!   I wanna scoop some easy profits off this common event. an_cheers

And yesterday before closing deadline for midterm bets I significantly upped my bet size on Senator Ron Johnson (R) in Wisconsin

Aside from my *HUGE* bet on the Republicans form a HOUSE majority, my bet on Ron Johnson is now HUGE too!

Wisc Senate: Johnson (R) -775 *(only to win $170)


an_light Almost $27k total commitment for Tuesday!  an_cheers

 

i follow the logic and it makes sense

i also went heavy on the repos to retake the house but i backed off the senate bet

the line i had was -270 GOP and i cant justify that when the senate is very close to a coin flip

GOP does have a razor thin caluculated edge though so it wouldnt surprise at all if they gain majority

 

it wont matter though .  must have a filibuster proof majority in the senate and the white house otherwise its just for show

that 60 vote rule is what is holding back america

That gap has narrowed significantly.  

The republican might well still win that race with over 27% of the vote still left to be counted.

I hope!   I have BIG BUCKS riding on Kari Lake to win  an_nailbiter  not that I think the election deiner should be their Governor, but I expected her to win easily in the BIG RED WAVE.

Bottom line there.  Biden has the video regardless who controls Congress.

@Europa

Alaska has the ranked-choice instant runoff.  Murkowski voted to convict Trump, so I am 99% certain that most of the Democratic voters will have picked Murkowski as their second choice.  Democrat Patricia Chesbro got over 20,000 votes which far exceeds Murkowski's deficit of 3,130 votes.

Election denier lies more!


Republican Trump-supporter Kari Lake raises unfounded doubts about election results in Arizona governor race that’s too early to call

Lake won the GOP primary after amplifying former President
Donald Trump’s lies about the 2020 presidential election,
falsely insisting that the election was rigged and stolen.
Lake is suggesting without any evidence that there could be
problems with Tuesday’s results.

All four GOP nominees at the top of the ticket in Arizona have
echoed Trump’s lies about the 2020 election. And right-wing
media seized on tabulator problems in Maricopa County earlier
on Tuesday to raise the idea of fraud – despite assurances to
the contrary from county officials – in a clear echo of some
conservatives’ repeated attempts to cast doubt on
Maricopa’s results from back in 2020.

Lauren Boebert last tweeted on Tuesday night when she
claimed the “red wave” had started to sweep across the US.

“The red wave has begun!” she wrote

“America First is winning!” she added.

Then, for the next 36 hours, not a peep was heard
from Ms Boebert, as her race took an unexpected turn and
the so-called red wave failed to materialise across America.

an_beatup

 

*note .....Lauren Booby likely still wins her seat back.....but it wasn't supposed to be anywhere NEAR this close!  That's the point.

Massachusetts GOP Gov. Charlie Baker
says Trump is to blame

 

CNN —
Charlie Baker, the moderate Republican governor of Massachusetts,
said former President Donald Trump’s influence hurt their party in
this year’s midterm elections as voters demonstrated they
“aren’t interested in extremism.”

In an interview with CNN’s Jake Tapper, Baker said Trump
“hurt the party’s chances on Election Day, not just here in
Massachusetts and Maryland, but in many of those other
battleground states.”

He's obviously spot on about that!   The voters have spoken loud and clear!

Nice! Good to see a moderate Republican triumph over the trumpism candidate. Dems and independents surely help Sen. Murkowski in this midterm as well.

No..  . If you knew anything you would understand that the minority party  does better against the president's party in the mid terms.

Yes, she's one of the very few decent ones among the current republicans in Congress.
