Hogan is a good dude. He basically rejected what trump did, and did so publicly.

Controls the Senate after elections: GOP -260
Arizona Senate: Masters (R) -105
W Colorado Senate: Bennet (Democracy) -635
Georgia Senate: Walker (R) -175 <--- going to December 6 runoff
Nevada Senate: Laxalt (R) -220
W OHIO Senate: Vance (R) -975
L Pennsylvania: OZ (R) -165 <--- Dems pick up a Senate seat
Wisc Senate: Johnson (R) -775
* Note: my bets in this elections are not at all about who I think voters SHOULD be voting for, but rather who I expect at least 50.5% of the public *WILL* ultimately cast their ballots, regardless how stupid their choices may be.
** For the "corruption & neo-fascism supporting" MAGA-cult-trolls, in order for these election results to cause me any grief, the republicans will have to LOSE. Otherwise, I PROFIT!! 
After Fetterman's unexpected win, my bet on republicans taking the Senate too is also in jeopardy
If I take another loss somewhere I basically can do little better than just break even.
Further losses would hurt.

The polls had this one a near toss up.
She won "bigly"
Maybe this was a backlash against trumpism for seemingly encouraging armed violence against Whitmer and being an asshole about the entire event.
Good for Michigan!

If Dems should win the Senate, Biden Administration can still accomplish many agendas, like Federal judge and potential SCOTUS nominations.

@Europa
Agreed. 
Possible. But then there's always Manchin and Sinema to phck it all up! So they need to win by a 52 - 48 majority (pick up at least one senate seat) or the Dems and America will be held hostage by one or both of those two senators once again.

thats a good point and the dems have gained one senate seat so far with georgia and arizona seats very much in play !
and even when the house flips as always happens in the 1st midterm if the majority is very thin it is still possible for a majority dem senate to make legislation that the house might pass bcuz they dont always vote just party lines there !!

Well no not mostly. I was going with the strong election trend towards a backlash against the party in power, with polls supporting that trend.
At this point, because the republicans appear to be failing their gleefully promoted "red wave" my bets on them will likely cost me any profit this time and possibly some losses. ~ sigh ~

Very good point, and likely largely overlooked by most, but true. Any party must definitely have the Senate for sure, but might still be able to govern even with a thin majority with the opposition party in the House. Possibly. Things like raising the debt ceiling would be much more likely to pass.
Also, the House leader with a thin majority which Pelosi also had creates difficulties within their party since if even just a few GOP support a Democrat bill it could pass!! Of course I am speaking of funding conciliation related bills that don't require a 60 vote Senate to pass.

its intresting that in a swing state and the expected backlash in the first midterm of a new president the repo candidate endorsed by donnie chump couldnt even defeat a guy still clearly suffering from the effects of a stroke
what does that say ??

They have to be disappointed. Big majorities in both House and Senate were well within their reach, and they blew it.
The Independent in Georgia Chase Oliver who has siphoned off 2% of the vote in an otherwise tossup that is going to run off between Warnock and Walker figures to be very popular starting tomorrow.
Each side will be trying to woo his endorsement and the handful of votes he might be able to help with could just very well be the difference in the US senate!
Watch.

actually the racist house member marjorie taylor greene has long ago signalled to mccarthy that he is not the leader . she and her far right cronies will effectively control the house as a voting block mccarthy will have to crater to their whims

Great point! In an odd sort of way that "unknown" could end up holding the key to the balance of power in Washington!
