November 2026 election.

[LizVerite]

Can the Democrats win the House and/or Senate in November?

Trump and his cadre of sociopaths are coming up with plenty of ideas for how to stop them.

[RandySF]

1. House yes, Senate unlikely.

[OGBuzz]

2. Fingers crossed for Talarico in Texas and Platner in Maine and then the Senate too.

7. Planter has the better chance

Talarico needs to do better outreach to African American voters in Texas if he wants to win.

[OGBuzz]

9. Agreed! I just hope that they don't believe even for one second that Paxton is a better choice.

8. The odds of Dems retaking the senate improve daily

We will definitely get to 49, which leaves just two seats out of TX, IA, AK, and ME needing to flip to get to 51. Those states have had their projections adjusted from Likely republican to Lean, or Lean to Toss Up. FL, NE and MT are also shifting slightly towards Dems (from Safe Republican to Likely, or Likely to Lean- it seems like the projections are changing weekly)

[LizVerite]

3. Retiring Republicans.

Are all the seats of retiring Republicans guaranteed to go Republican again?

[OGBuzz]

10. I really hope that's not the case, especially after the last 18 months under Trump.

4. Yes, we can.

It doesn't all come down to money, but money makes a difference.

Among other things, we all must dig deeper than ever before.

Give to state Democratic parties to help them build resources and party infrastructure to protect our elections and support democratic candidates up and down the ballot.

5. Dems *WILL* regain control of the House

The only question is the size of the majority.

The odds of retaking the senate improve daily.

Most of the election interference has been front loaded via voter suppression laws and gerrymandering, and Dems are still prevailing.

A federal judge ruled against Trump today regarding his attempted restrictions on mail in ballots.

Nothing can stop the Blue Tsunami.

6. We will win the House.

We may win the Senate. I think we will probably win the Senate or end up out of power 50/50.

[OGBuzz]

11. Fetterman will be a real problem.

[mr715]

12. On a lot of issues, yeah.

I don't think he'll caucus with the Republicans. But what do I know?
