BoeBoe has it in the bag I think

The house is Republicans. Probably 221 seats now

He ain’t playing

It’s real btw

did he just admit to rigging an election

his lawyers are not happy right now, no wonder they were scared of him being alone in a deposition

might be lying but desantis is dirty too

He don’t give a s*** right now

It officially has gotten weird in Colorado

those DT posts holy s*** 🤣

Trump actually going crazy

absolutely need the masterclass move by trump to run as an independent and tank the republican party

“Crack Head” is sending me

I definitely can see the Republican party completely cutting ties with Trump and going all in on support for Desantis 2024. I figured that would happen tbh

Only the very far right politicians are going to stick around for Trump

Looking unlikely for Cortez Masto to win Nevada now right?

No. They expect her to pull it out but it’s not a done deal.

lol

It’s remarkable how many wrestlers are politicians

Wasserman calls it

masters losing in AZ is pretty devastating for that entire thiel backed ideological wing of the GOP as well as trump endorsed tickets in general

current numbers for senate are 48-48

kelly winning in AZ and then counting alaska (which still hasn't been called) that's 49-49. NV is obv gonna go to Laxalt so that's 49-50, which means it once again all comes down to GA runoffs.

Why (in regards to both the Thiel and Trump parts)?

someone like JD Vance winning in Ohio is unimpressive and expected because it's a red state. it'd be like trying to exclaim winning as a republican in Florida is impressive.

by comparison, AZ is pretty close to a microcosm of the wider american political landscape as possible; it's essentially a purple state and the way they vote follows little consistency term to term. You can run very conservative and very liberal candidates there and they can win interchangeably.

Masters ran basically the quintessential Thiel ideological campaign (besides just the fact he was literally funded by him); the head to toe of his campaign was entirely representative of those talking points, something more indicative of New Right politics rather than traditional american conservatism. He ran a pretty hardcore campaign there and campaigned on strong talking points and such. He was also obv endorsed by Trump.

Losing there is a big indictment of those talking points in terms of rejection by populaces representatives of wider america, especially given demographics per distict in Arizona. If they can't win in a purple state, no less one actually WILLING to vote for more hardcore right candidates in theory, there's no way in reality that the movement would ever be viable anywhere outside of pre-existing hard red states, which is a massive problem for electoral strategies from republicans.

similarly, every single major race backed by Trump has essentially lost except in unimpressive red states where a republican was going to win anyway (Alaska) - this is an actual problem because Ds performed very poorly in polls downticket, and there was actual will in many purple states to vote R, showing that the Trump endorsement and attached talking points really actively hurt Rs in underperforming

To be fair I think Kelly is a fairly strong candidate to go up against.
