2022 US Mid-Term Elections Thread (election date: Tuesday, 8th November)

Who knows, but to be fair it's been something the likes of Tapper of CNN has gone apeshit over and rightfully so.

I don't know if they boosted Lake in Arizona, but if they have oh dear oh dear.

Anyway New York governor race has got some attention recently, as Nate Silver pointed out the GOP would have preferred a much more complacent NY dem voting base so their man could sneak in, that seems unlikely with so much focus on it.

Trump showed last night by going after RDS 3 days before he is up for reelection that he is totally incapable of message discipline. I assume De Santis is fuming privately, he is also sitting on a huge war chest which he hasn't need to use himself, very interesting to see if he has the balls to face Trump now.

They just have to be more credible than the Democrats, that's all,they don't have to be good or capable.

The Democrats stopped listening and turned inwards. That's all well and good until election time and the people you talk at decide you should have talked with them.

It's a large chunk of their own base they are pushing away.

Who doubts that they'll learn nothing, double down and lose more life long voters in 24.

Dems will be grateful for the filibuster if the senate goes against them as the next cycle is pretty brutal also tbf.

Looking at the senate later, Oz probably crawls over the line mainly due to how poorly Fetterman is finishing the campaign , Georgia goes to a run off, Vance should be fine and CCM and Hasan barely hold on. Hasan incredibly fortunate that the GOP picked a dud because she was so vulnerable this time round.

Arizona very hard to call, Kelly is strong in the state has spent a lot, but it's a still a purple state and if Lake and the GOP have a good night then he is very vulnerable. Betting sites have them very close, gun to head Kelly but with no confidence at all.

The Democrats have even had their own think tanks call out the party for not focusing on the economy and inflation.

That will cost them.

The filibuster is a parliamentary procedure which the Constitution explicitly delegates to the Houses of Congress to decide themselves. Unlikely the Supreme Court would intervene in the filibuster.
