1. Now that's a cause for.... CONCERN!

2. Collins comes up for re-election November 3, 2026.

What do you want to bet The Orange Menace, Eloon, and Peter Thiel flood her primary campaign with mega cash and negative political ads to oust her. In the style of former Rep. Liz Cheney.

3. Good

That will give her something to really be “concerned and troubled” over.”

4. Are there any Democratic Senators left in Red states?

Or was Manchin the last?

5. Mark Kelly and now Ruben Gallego in AZ...Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in GA.

I believe that is it.

6. Thanks

I guess I was thinking more Deep Red states, non-swing states.

[Ace Rothstein]

8. Nope, you're correct.

Outside of North Carolina I don't see where we pull additional senators from in the coming elections.

7. Manchin, Sherrod Brown and Jon Tester were the last ones. Then we have swing state senators

Coming in 2025:

We'll have 10 of 14 swing state senators

Arizona

Mark Kelly
Ruben Gallego

Michigan

Gary Peters
Elissa Slotkin

Nevada

Catherine Cortez Masto
Jacky Rosen

Pennsylvania

John Fetterman

Wisconsin

Tammy Baldwin

Georgia

Jon Ossoff
Raphael Warnock

Georgia is a swing state... but kind of.. because Georgia still leans republican. Keeping our seats there is still an uphill battle.

I did a post on this recently. They have more solid red states than we have solid blue states and therefore its always harder for us to win the senate unless we invest to expand our map. We have to rely on swing states much more often than they do, which means they have a much easier time defending their seats.
