...because opposition parties usually gain during midterms. (I’m sure Republicans are thinking they’ll be able to retake the House then.) Fortunately, the dynamics of COVID make it very likely that, by then, we’ll be out of the crisis and returning to normality, and Democrats will be able to take credit for saving hundreds of thousands of American lives.

Some states may vote to keep mail in, but I doubt as many as 2020 will.

Is that somebody Gavin Newsome has already announced he is going to appoint to fill the remainder of Kamala Harris's term?

when the so-called "death of the Republican Party" fizzled so poorly? We lost House seats and gained nothing in the Senate. Dems have approximately 18 months to get anything fucking done and McConnell is still Majority Leader. We'll be in the same condition 2 years from now if not worse. I see very little to be positive about.

AZ(Kelly-D),NV(Cortez Masto-D),and NH(Hassan-D) are the most vulnerable. Democrats have a 50 percent or greater chance of winning those seats.
