10% of Indiana reported, and Donnelly's held steady around 35%-38%. I imagine once Allen, Marion, and Lake come in, he'll start leading Braun.

I'm also pretty sure I'm a curse. I've never voted for a winner.
The biggest issue is nobody wants to develop in California. There's no incentive to build, rent control only hurts in that regard.

And the flip side for the Rent Control proposal here, the cap would be at 10%, which is as bad as it already is, considering it's already stupidly high.

Mike Braun (R) was called the victor, defeating incumbent Joe Donnelly here in Indiana.

I didn't vote for Donnelly, and as a leftist, I am damn glad he's out of the senate.

I am hoping that Kara Eastman of Nebraska's second congressional district can pull out a win. One of the few Democratic candidates that I know of that I'd vote for, if I could.

Not sure what so many liberals are complaining about, this is looking like the best realistic outcome they could have hoped for. Flip the House, positive developments in Texas and Florida.

Because relative to other mid-terms, plus all the "Blue Wave" talk, this is pretty underwhelming. Trump and the senate will continue to re-shape the courts.

Winning the House by a shit load is what the liberals wanted (iMpEaCh!1!1!!!1!!). The scary thing for them is now Trump, if he chooses to run for a second term, can slam the Democrats for obstructionism in the House during his campaign. Part of me wants to see Pelosi as SotH because it'll be fuckin' hilarious. The jokes will write themselves. The memes will be glorious.

But it looks like my prediction is going to shape out to be accurate. Narrowly lose the House, gain a few seats in the Senate. It was hilarious watching the Republicans freak out about potentially losing the Senate. It was really never out of their hands.

Blackburn wins in Tennessee. "Taylor Swift Effect" gained no steam, as expected. Only hurts Taylor in the long run: Reveals she actually buys into the wage gap nonsense, shills for the democrat and it made no difference.

The only slight surprise for me so far is McCaskill leading Hawley. Other than that, everything is going exactly as I expected.

couldn't that have just been how she felt politically, rather than "shilling"? she's a public figure, so it's gonna get reported. we saw trump at the polls. was he shilling? no.

She's shilling. If you believe the wage gap, and go out of your realm and into politics to tell the world you believe in it, and who to vote for, you are shilling. The wage gap is a myth, anyone half-retarded even knows this.

There is also an issue in following polls as they're updating. Some places will count certain counties before others. If you follow a CNN or an MSNBC, they will cover all the left-leaning counties first.

25% reporting McCaskill was up by about 7 points. With 54% reporting it's now flipped. Still early. Still predicting a very narrow victory for Hawley.

It's a shame that so many atrocious Democrats are winning, and so many "leftists" are happy about it.

Happy that Gretchen Whitmer is Michigan's governor? Tim Kaine? Sherrod Brown? Bob fucking Casey? Every single one of these individuals is no ally of the left. And yet, "OMG THE REPUBLICNAS ARE WORSE VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO". God, Democrats are pathetic.

MAN. I still haven't been to the Young Turds live stream. Apparently the story of the night is a shit load of people going to their live stream to shitpost and making the squad cry about it. lol.

They expected the dems to gain like 40 seats in the House or some shit. They are those delusional folks.

And just like that, Hawley is crushing McCaskill.

your profession should not preclude you from having an opinion beyond that profession. you're a truck driver by trade, no? you've told people how to vote. you've discussed myths and rumors and opinions as if they are fact. allow swift the same? :P

Actual strong leftist candidates, not beholden to corporate interests or a corrupt political party.

I would assume Swift is like every other Democrat. Se thanks her team and talks about how she couldn't do it without them. She advocates for wage equality, but when her check comes in, it has 6 or 7 zeros at the end while the people she employs get two or three.
