It’s close enough now that I feel comfortable making some predictions in regards to the midterms. All of this is based on current polls, enthusiasm, political climates, and the ability of Republicans to get voters to the polling place.
None of this is discourage voters in these jurisdictions from going out voting. You and your friends and family turning out could greatly impact the races, providing a bigger victory night for conservatives.
Go out and try to win anyway. We only get this chance every two years in the House and six years in the Senate. It’s worth your time voting.
House of Representatives
Nancy Pelosi finds herself looking for a new leadership position. Republicans sweep back into power on the House side, picking up 45+ seats — more if conservatives can really get out the vote.
