Democrats need 2 seats to flip the senate
They need 1 of the following scenarios to come true:
•Democrats need to win Republican held seats in Arizona & Nevada
•They need to hold on to all 26 of their currently held seats, including Indiana & Missouri

If Democrats lose 1 of their seats, they need to take Arizona, Nevada & Tennessee.
Democrats could sub in Texas for 1 of these 3 seats or carry all 4 & afford to lose 2 of their seats.
They can't afford to lose in West Virginia, where tRump won by more than 40 points in 2016.

Manchin has retained high single digit polling lead in Mountaineer St
It isn't difficult seeing his lead falling given tRump is well liked there
Good news for Dems is: results across these races are correlated
Winning 1 of these tight races means they're likely to win most of em

▶️75% of the voters is 4.2 million people.

ℹ️The exact amount of money is “projected” because—according to the amendment that was passed—it was to come from 33% of Florida’s existing excise tax. An Excise tax is a “documentary stamp tax” paid when real estate is sold, typically 70 cents per $100 paid for the property.

🏔️This tells you everything you need to know about U.S. Senator Jon Tester from #Montana: he made history as being the first member of Congress who posted his daily schedule online.
🚜But in case you need to know a little more, he is part of the third generation from his family who have resided in Montana & has shown that he will protect the state from interlopers. The top “issue” on his campaign website is “fighting for veterans.”
Senator Joe Donnelly (D-IN) stands up for veterans. He is passionate about several issues, but helping veterans is definitely a priority.

🎖️Just one small example: when he stood up on the Senate floor and made this speech about Vietnam veterans and how they should have all the same benefits as vets from other wars.
💗Donnelly's very first bill—the bipartisan Jacob Sexton Military Suicide Prevention Act—was a labor of love. Jacob was from Indiana and a National Guard member who tragically took his own life in 2009.

🎖️Sinema believes that taking care of active duty military and veterans is one of the “most important obligations we have as Americans. Every American who wears the uniform deserves our respect and full support, both on the battlefield and when he or she returns home.”
🏛️While serving Arizona’s 9th District in Congress, Sinema took on the local VA facility in Phoenix, AZ. She learned that approximately 40 Arizona veterans died while waiting for care on “secret” VA lists.

.@BetoORourke raised over $23 million this season without accepting donations from corporations of lobbyists.
Cruz has raised $30K more than his opponent.
Texas Senatorial race is currently the most expensive in the country.
A democrat hasn’t won Texas statewide race in 24 years.

Shortly after 45 took office, Murray, an unabashed climate denier, presented @VP with pro-coal action plan that called for doing away with Clean Power Plan, withdrawing from Paris climate agreement, eliminating federal tax credits for renewable energy, yes halving EPA’s workforce
Wheeler serves as VP of Washington Coal Club, powerful yet little-known federation of 300+ coal producers, lawmakers, business leaders, policy experts who've dedicated themselves to preserving uncertain future of our dirtiest fossil fuel.
For 3yrs #SCOTUS was my beat.

YOU gave us that.
And him for the next FORTY FREAKING YEARS.
Explain it to your kids.
