  • All of a sudden, Montana — and Senate control — is slipping away from Republicans

    Jump

  • They already killed it for Supreme Court nominees when it suited them. If they really wanted something they'd kill it for that

    By 2017, roles had reversed — Republicans held the majority in the Senate, and President Donald Trump sat in the Oval Office.

    After Senate Democrats, now in the minority, filibustered the confirmation of Judge Neil Gorsuch — Trump's first nominee to the Supreme Court — McConnell engineered his own "nuclear option."

    The Republican-controlled Senate voted 52-48 to reduce the vote threshold for confirming nominees to the Supreme Court from 60 to 51, per The New York Times.

  • We can do a bit better than just hope, there is still time to volunteer to help get out the vote today and tomorrow on election day!

  • Republican US senate candidate Tim Sheehy admits no records prove his claim he was shot at war

    Jump

  • Huh, turns out the Republican earlier BS claims of stolen valor for Tim Walz were just talking about the wrong Tim all along

  • 2024 US Senate Races Megapost! 53 R - 47 D. Final!

    Jump

  • If we're going on history, then they would not be safe seats either. The margins they won by in their last election were quite close

    Rick scott was re-elected in 2018 by a margin of just 0.12% (just ~10,000 votes of ~8 million)

    In Cruz's last election, he narrowly won by just ~2.6% in 2018. He's unpopular among even many republicans. The state has gotten more blue since then. Texas is an ~R+5 ish state. It's not as solidly red as people think it is

  • 2024 US Senate Races Megapost! 53 R - 47 D. Final!

    Jump

  • Neither Texas nor Florida is at all safe R if you're going by public polling or even earlier leak GOP campaign internals about Texas which put it at 48% Cruz to 47% Allred. It's more so tilt-R or lean-R by polling averages

  • Trump losing sleep over polling numbers days before election

    Jump

  • One thing that I've found with anxiety that can help is volunteering and other things that help dem turnout. It moves the needle a little and if nothing else it makes you feel productive and some more degree of agency besides just voting yourself

    Can find some phone banks, canvasing, and text banks near you

    Also another small thing that can also help is reminding and encourage any dem leaning friends, family, etc. to go out and vote. Helps more than you'd think

  • Supreme Court allows Virginia to purge voter rolls ahead of the election, granting a request by the Republican governor that lower courts had blocked

    Jump

  • Nevada, Wisconsin, and Michigan* have same day registration through election day

    North Carolina has it only during early voting (ends Nov 2nd)

    The rest of the battle ground states do not (i.e Pennsylvania, Arizona, Georgia)

    Across the US, 23 states + DC have same day voter registration

    not at the polls in Michigan but at the clerk's office and then you can vote there after doing same day registration

  • Kamala Harris Wins Nickelodeon’s ‘Kids Pick the President’ Poll With 52% of Votes, Trump Grabs 48%

    Jump

  • They includes 3rd parties in 2016, but did not in 2020 and 2024, hence the different margins. And the 3rd party they included was of the Republican spoiler type rather than the Democratic spoiler type

    They had way higher third party votes in their poll than actually occured - and the third party votes in 2016 were higher than usual (helping trump narrowly win in 2016)
