- Much larger Republican majority in House than expected, over 260 seats.
- Biden announces after the midterms he is not going to run in 2024.
- The Senate is not as great for Republicans as they thought it was going to be as several Democratic senators hold on.
Dems couldn't even do this in 2018 with a better battlefield. Even if this year is a red wave, the fact that there are less battleground seats will limit GOP's # of seats to be gained.
Which is why it’s called a bold take lol
Anyway my bold takes:
- Hassan wins by >5
- WA senate is the shocker of the night and is decided by <1 point days later due to late-arriving mail ballots (with a real chance the R holds on)
- Bennet wins by 10+ in CO and CO is not seriously contested again for another 15 years
- Rs win at least one Biden +15 seat
- Warnock does 10 points better than Stacey Abrams
- Laxalt wins Clark county
No one can say they aren’t bold xD
