Republicans now have a 27% chance of holding the Senate. They have a 1 out of 100 chance of winning the House. Don\u2019t say they didn\u2019t warn you. For instance, the national bellwether race in the state of Virginia has a Democrat on a narrow edge. So does the battleground New York House contest. Texas is still red\u2026 but so tantalizingly close\u2026 so inviting to drop some cash now for 2028. Bulletin: Most blame Donald K. Trump for higher prices and  are unhappy with how he is handling the economy. Trump blames himself for his awful Supreme Court. And for not banning all journalism and just hiring an ad agency. He told you he had a gun! But did you listen?  Most likely, we\u2019ll have some sort of midterms though, and Republicans are pretty certain to lose, and pretty certain that they will lose. In Texas, many are voting for a change of face, many because they actually like James Talarico as much as they hate Trump. Many are voting against Ken Paxton, although drowning him would be fine. Gina Hinojosa is doing well with those who ran out of excuses for their education system. Bobby Pulido really makes Quincea\u00f1eras great again. Susan Collins probably can\u2019t sing but can\u2019t do commercials well either. Sherrod Brown really can\u2019t sing but knows how to do a commercial. Republicans discovered that there are fewer rich voters than poor voters, so how does 38\u00a2 off a gallon of gas sound, hm? Meanwhile, as the administration makes orphanages and asylums great again, Todd Blanche wants to lock Minnesota\u2019s federal district judges up, and Kash Patel wants to tie naughty sheep down.
