In retrospect, this might have been the prescient moment of the 2022 election cycle. From August. https://t.co/6ex9vUCOYb https://t.co/sABhxGNBAW — PolitiTweet.org

This completes a stunning collapse for Republicans in the Senate — the party out of power needed just one seat to capture the majority and failed. — PolitiTweet.org

The Georgia Senate race is headed to a Dec. 6 runoff, so Democrats will either end up with a 50-seat Senate majority (with the tie-breaking vote of VP Harris) or 51 seats. — PolitiTweet.org

R+5 district (per Cook). It’s hard to conceive of a Democrat winning here in a year like this without a substantial slice of R-to-D crossovers, and/or Rs simply not voting. As this ad shows, Perez sought to make the race about MAGA extremism. — PolitiTweet.org

“Her loud mouth; she’s a mini Trump. That was a turnoff.” “What she really cared about was being a television star.” @deonjhampton in Pueblo, Colo., with a story on why Lauren Boebert is locked in an unexpectedly close race in her GOP-friendly district. https://t.co/KCk4OEEVPR — PolitiTweet.org

There's one House race left to call in Washington. It's the GOP-leaning district currently held by Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, who voted to impeach Trump and got knocked off in a primary by Trump-backed Joe Kent. Kent now trails Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Pérez. https://t.co/9j4AcVh0fO — PolitiTweet.org

Orange County update: Vote count trends are looking good for Democratic incumbents @KatiePorterOC (CA47) and @MikeLevin (CA49), who have extended their leads over Republican rivals. (NBC News hasn’t called these two races.) https://t.co/tty6hWytYY — PolitiTweet.org

To revisit this question: It increasingly looks like the red-to-blue suburban shifts of recent elections are continuing in the wake of Trump's presidency, much as rural areas are becoming even redder. A phenomenon bigger than one man, steadily realigning the American electorate. — PolitiTweet.org

SENATE UPDATE The breakdown is now 49-49, with two races still uncalled between the parties. Nevada —> Votes are still being counted. Georgia —> Headed for a Dec. 6 runoff. Democrats need one of them to hold the majority. Republicans need both to capture it. https://t.co/VcVNhv4voF — PolitiTweet.org

Schweikert's fate has implications on Capitol Hill. He could become the Ways & Means health subcommittee chair if he wins re-election and Republicans flip the House; I recently talked to him about what he plans to do with that power (hint: not repeal ACA). https://t.co/oDxrgCFV0M — PolitiTweet.org

Republican Mark Finchem, speaking recently to @TIME magazine, mocked the idea of certifying a Biden victory in Arizona, saying he could only win in a "fantasy world" as "I can’t find anyone who will admit that they voted for Joe Biden."

In Arizona, inflation was big — the #1 issue and those voters backed Masters by 40 points. But a close #2 was abortion, and those voters backed Kelly by 84 (!) points. https://t.co/8EDSjM1LJo — PolitiTweet.org

Masters, teed up by Tucker, swings at McConnell: "I will leave it to the viewer to decide whether it is just malice or whether it's gross incompetence, but clearly Mitch McConnell cares about MM and less about a Senate majority or the people of America. I think we need a change." — PolitiTweet.org
