He has to be in the bottom 0.5% of all of the candidates running across the house and senate in this election. He's maybe better than Boebert? MTG? Even that's a stretch.

Looks like Dems will have 51 seats when the dust settles.

The big loser appears to be Trump, all the hand picked trump nominees are under performing and the ones who stood up to trump are winning large victories.

Hopefully he can disappear sooner rather then later.

Inflation and high gas prices. The incumbent government is always scapegoated, regardless of whether or not they caused the problems.

I'm not really surprised that it took this long, this is a deeply racist state.



That said I am very pleasantly surprised by my fellow Pennsylvanians tonight.

I'm fairly convinced that a third of the country straight up wants a Trump dictatorship.

'when they came for the muslims I thought 'good, they're all terrorists anyway'

'then they came for me and I thought 'WTF!! I thought my gun and my pasty white skin and fat ass would keep me safe???'

Looks like we can thank the zoomers for this not being a disaster.

What did I say a few hours ago? A good night for Democrats!

It would be something if the Democrats came out of this with 51 Senate seats, just the one change on PA. They could tell Manchin to pound sand.

It's not over, but definitely pleasantly surprised at how well the Dems have done. So glad Fetterman beat the con man doctor from New Jersey to win Pennsylvania.

I look forward to Trump turning his attention to fighting with republicans for 2024...should be fun to watch him trash those who have kissed his ass for 6 years
