(8,758 posts)The House flipping, has pretty good odds, but flipping the Senate is a very long shot. The Dems have to keep every seat they are defending and pick up two to flip that chamber. Heitkamp in ND, especially with the voter purging and goal post moving the GOP is doing right not to disenfranchise voters means she'll probably be out on Nov. 2. The other dicey races, MO and IN... I dunno. Flip a coin at this point.
But you never know until election day. We need huge turnout, get that and we have a good chance.
