WV-SEN 2024: Manchin out, Justice for All

[oldtimer]

Around a decade ago I think there were Democratic senators in all of MT, AR, WV, OH, ND, SD, MO, IN and NE. Now there might not be any in any of those states in around a year's time.

Republicans are doing well in them for 23 years on the Presidential level, tells you how long it takes and how hard it is for Senate seats to flip.

That stat is inflated by how well Democrats did in the mid 2000s, but obviously the down ballot trends in these types of states have been terrible for them.

Congress is usually an electoral echo of ancient Presidential results.
