The Democratic Party is definitely going to take control of the House. The Senate is going to be harder, but it’s still possible. Especially since it seems like Trump is doing everything he can to make himself even more unpopular.

Keep the momentum going y’all! Only vote Dem or Independent so we can take back the country from the fascist pedo!

I wont believe it until I see it for the takeover of congress as half of the US is still stupid.
I expect some people to finally learn that voting republican is a horrible idea, but I figure most morons will not evolve enough to be able to understand how the republicans party is awful and any other non-republicans candidate will be better in every way. Most stupid people cannot change and will stick with the republican party for racism, sexism, and criminals.

2024 margin – R+14
2024 presidential margin – R+9
2026 special election margin – D+4
An 18-point shift to the left.
Everyone is gonna talk about the points and the swing, which are entirely valid, but [goddamned](https://nhjournal.com/gop-loses-carroll-county-seat-in-special-election-upset/):
