The stars have truly aligned for the Dems to win the Senate in every single way: - Roy Cooper and Jon Ossoff lock up NC and GA - Sherrod Brown decides to mount a comeback in OH even though it's a two year term - Mary Peltola runs in AK, passing up a guaranteed governor win - The GOP nominates Ken Paxton in TX and the Dems nominate a S tier candidate with James Talarico making it competitive - The same thing plays out in KS with Roger Marshall and Adam Hamilton - and also in SC with Darline Graham and Annie Andrews! - And in MI and IA, the GOP imploding in the governors races in those states has locked up MI for Abdul and has given Turek a great shot in IA - Dem aligned independents in NE, MT, SD, and ID stretch the field (with Dan Osborn having a great shot in NE) - But wait, it's not all bad for the GOP, the Dems nominated a scandal-ridden dumpsterfire of a candidate in ME: hold on, you're telling me they got him to drop out with nothing to gain? You simply couldn't imagine this in 2024 even if you tried to write a Dem wishcast fanfiction
