United States Senate Mega-Thread

[73Seahawks]

Of course they'll try. They'd have done the same with Mills. Doesn't mean they'll succeed in either case. Maine is a blue state and Trump's approval ratings are dropping like a rock.

Collins has won five consecutive statewide elections for a reason: she's the Teflon Queen from the Pine Tree State.

That alone doesn't mean anything. And it would have been true if Gov. Mills had stayed in, too.

I only have the Democrats flipping North Carolina on November 3rd.

I'd probably agree if the election were held today. But we've got five more months of Trump making an ass of himself, an unpopular war that's only going to become more so, and the ever-present possibility some red-state candidate will pull a "legitimate rape". As for Collins, she has beaten the odds before, but she is behind Platner in the polls right now.

Here in my home state of Texas: I am keeping my fingers crossed that four-term incumbent United States Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) pulls off a miraculous comeback tonight in the runoff.

Tuesday, 26 May 2026: C-SPAN special coverage of the Republican primary runoff for Texas-United States Senator, which will include concession and victory speeches.

 

[YDB95]

I wonder if Cornyn will actually concede? It's out of character for Republicans these days.

No question, they'll have to carry Grassley out of the Senate chamber in a pine box.

100 percent agree with you on Grassley likely being carried out of the United States Senate in a flag-draped casket. However, if the Democrats somehow win back the Iowa Governorship in November, don't be shocked if the Republican supermajority General Assembly stripes the Democratic Governor's powers.

 

[YDB95]

I won't be, but I'm also wondering if the Republicans will be able to hold their supermajority with so many farmers pissed off at Trump.

You're referring to the Iowa General Assembly right?

 

[YDB95]

You're referring to the Iowa General Assembly right?

Yes.

 

[73Seahawks]

Yes.

This isn't the first time the Republican-controlled General Assembly went after Iowa State Auditor Rob Sand because outgoing Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds signed legislation, which stripped half of the Democratic State Auditor's powers.
