Relief mostly. Sherrod Brown probably survives in this scenario.

I would laugh mostly, because it would be the third election in a row that the map was 306-232, which I assume was the intent of this post.

AK is the least realistic state result here, and that's the biggest reason I'm going to say this map is borderline impossible (if AK voted more normally, then I'd say...quite unlikely, but not impossible or anything).

Dread it, run from it, Bluelaska arrives all the same.

(This will be, of course, the 2028 map. 2024 is a redux of 2016, except with a blue NE-2).

Would not have expected Biden to do this well against Ronny D.

Relief mostly. Sherrie Brown probably survives in this scenario.

I'd chalk up Biden's overperformance in OH to the new Intel fab in the Columbus metro.

NC might be more believable and the EC meme would be funnier if it was a Harris/Cooper ticket instead.

thankful, just thankful.

As others have said, I would feel relief and be thankful. With DeSantis losing to Biden the GOP would very likely be forced to do some soul searching whereas with Trump losing they would attribute the loss solely to Trump personally and not MAGA/Trumpism themselves.

I don't think the GOP is capable of actual soul searching. They will not get less insane after a 2024 loss. Even if RDS just accepts his defeat and concedes.

Of course 306-232 strikes

O please neither side is capable of it. Democrats blamed Russia for 2 years for their loss in 2016.
