NBC just called Georgia for Trump, giving him a 246-189 EV lead.
The Nebraska Senate race has been called for Fischer, who is now up 51.9 – 48.1 with 74% of the vote in; this guarantees the Republicans 51 seats in the Senate. Only 16% of the Montana vote is in, and Tester is currently behind 39.4 – 58.9; a Sheehy win there makes it 52. Baldwin (WI), Casey (PA), and Slotkin (MI) are all currently behind in their races, so the Republicans could easily get to 55 before all is said and done, even assuming that Gallego beats Lake in Arizona.
In the House, there is no race in the NYTimes’ “Republican expected to win” column in which the Democrat is currently ahead. The closest such races are the Wisconsin 3rd, where Cooke is behind 48.4 – 51.6, and the Colorado 3rd (Boebert’s former district before she sandbagged over to replace Buck in a safer seat), where Frisch is behind 47.2 – 49.9.
As such, while the Presidential race has not yet been called and while it may be days before the House sorts itself out, we need to steel ourselves to the very real notion of unified Republican government under a President Trump, the main pillars of whose platform includes mass deportation of immigrants, widespread tariffs, and radical shifts in U.S. foreign policy.
God help us all.
