"If Joe Biden gets 51 percent of the vote—which, again, would be a larger percentage than any Republican since George H.W. Bush in 1988—he is likely to lose the presidency while Republicans sweep to an enormous majority in the Senate." via @JVLast: https://t.co/tmlBpdAQcK — PolitiTweet.org

"Aiming for 51-52% of the vote under the current coalitional pattern won’t cut it. Democrats need to wake up, because right now they’re sleepwalking into disaster, with no plan to avert it." @simon_bazelon delves into the numbers: https://t.co/7xOxSgcvMK — PolitiTweet.org

This dynamic may not show up in 2022 since the Senate landscape is relatively friendly for Democrats and they have incumbency advantages. But the 2024 map looks hellish for Dems and, without a re-engineering of the electorate, it doesn't get much better from there. — PolitiTweet.org

Much of the political world is underestimating the disaster that lies ahead for Democrats in the Senate over the medium-term—even if they win national majorities—due to education polarization, rural over-representation and a hardening electoral realignment. Good primer here >> — PolitiTweet.org

Scoop: @JoeBiden is about to unveil five new judicial nominees, bringing his total to 90. New batch includes historic firsts. Fresh off KBJ confirmation. Senate has confirmed 59 Biden-picked judges. This is one part of his agenda that’s moving smoothly. https://t.co/yV1MS8lnop — PolitiTweet.org

Trying to imagine the reaction if a member of Congress said this about the military 6-10 years ago. Seems doubtful they’d remain a House Republican in good standing with the caucus, as Rep. Greene currently is. — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch McConnell on Trump and the infrastructure deal: “I didn’t hesitate, but our former president apparently did not want anything like that to happen under his successor’s administration. So he came out against it, which I think reduced the number of votes in the House.” — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch McConnell reiterates his criticism that KBJ wouldn’t denounce Court expansion. Ginsburg and Breyer did as justices. Amy Coney Barrett did not, taking the same approach as KBJ and punting to the legislative branch during her hearings, and McConnell supported her. — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch McConnell on why he voted against KBJ for Supreme Court: “She was extremely well qualified. But I think that Democrats are consumed with race and gender when it comes to looking at judicial appointments.” — PolitiTweet.org

Mitch McConnell says nominations would look “very differently” if he’s majority leader. He notes the “majority leader has the ability to decide what you’re gonna put on the floor” and says “single most important decision” he made was to block Obama from filling a SCOTUS vacancy. — PolitiTweet.org
