Massively important race. Pubs currently have 52 in the Senate.
And there are 3 RINOs, McConnell, Murkowski and Collins. So we need to get to 54 to have a 'RINO-proof' majority.
It looks like Sam Collins and Mike McCormick in NV and PA will both win. So we need 2 of these last 3 races, at least. All 3 would be better.
I don't think folks understand how important it is to hit at least 54 in the Senate: With that number, any Trump appointment to his administration or any Federal Judge nomination (including SCOTUS), flies through without any issue.

I get this, but I'm sorry. I want Vivek to get the Treasury Secretary job, so he can clean house at the SEC and CFTC.
That's precisely what needs to happen. Because we need to see him in action and see how Vivek votes. Same thing for Lake. If they do well, then move them up and give them a chance at bigger things.
We have a potentially very deep MAGA bench. Over the next 4 years the people that step up will put themselves in a solid position to contend for Trump's slot or VP in 2028.
There is no chance any of those 3 Senators hold up a nominee. This is paranoia.
It literally took Trump 18 months in his first term to fill all his appointments due to the Senate delaying the process.
