“Sorry, Chuck Schumer: You’re set to become Senate minority leader as Republicans recapture the Senate. That’s darn cheery news for the nation, especially with Donald Trump winning the White House. The GOP went into the race holding 49 seats to the Democrats’ 51 (including independents caucusing with them), with a near-lock to pick up more at least two seats. Sure enough, in West Virginia, Republican Jim Justice flipped the Democratic seat Sen. Joe Manchin left open …. In Ohio, Republican Bernie Moreno beat incumbent Dem Sherrod Brown, with Tim Sheehy overwhelmingly expected to oust Sen. Jon Tester in Montana, that’s plus three.” [editor’s note: As long as the GOP doesn’t get 60, the filibuster remains intact … unless the Republicans are lying sacks of crap whgo reverse their positions on it. Which seems likely – TLK] (11/06/24)
