Swallwell should just switch to the Republican Party and run. MAQA doesn't care if you're a white, Christian sexual predator who was born in the US. He might even be able to run for POTUS in 2028.

Four major races shift in favor of Democrats as Senate looks more likely to swing in their favor

The Cook Political Report shifted four Senate races to favor Democratic candidates as the minority party looks increasingly poised to flip the upper chamber.

Cook is known largely for its ratings of how elections might tilt. Democrats hold 47 Senate seats, meaning they need to flip four seats to win the majority. To do so, they will need to hold two Senate seats–in Michigan and Georgia — in states President Donald Trump won in 2024 — and flip at least four Senate seats.

The report changed its rating for North Carolina’s Senate race from a toss-up to “lean Democratic.” Roy Cooper, the state’s former Democratic governor, is running for the seat being vacated by outgoing Republican Sen. Thom Tillis.
...
Cook also changed the rating for Georgia from toss-up to lean Democratic. Sen. Jon Ossoff is the sole incumbent Democrat running for re-election in a state where Trump won by 2 percentage points in 2024. Ossoff first notched won his seat in 2021 in a runoff election shortly after Joe Biden had flipped the state. But Ossoff has proven to be an adept fundraiser and campaigner.
...
Cook also shifted the Ohio Senate race from lean Republican to a toss-up. Gov. Mike DeWine appointed John Husted to fill the seat Vice President JD Vance vacated. In response, former Sen. Sherrod Brown jumped into the race. Brown served three terms in the Senate but lost to Republican Sen. Bernie Moreno in 2024 thanks in part to gobs of cash spent by Republicans and the crypto industry.
...
Lastly, Cook changed the rating for Nebraska’s Senate race from solid Republican to likely Republican. When Sen. Ben Sasse resigned his seat early, the Gov. Jim Pillen appointed former Gov. Pete Ricketts. Ricketts comes from money and his family owns the Chicago Cubs.
...
Still, even if Democrats and independents win each of these races, Democrats would still need to win two more seats. In Maine, incumbent Gov. Janet Mills and oyster farmer Graham Platner are running in a race to be the nominee to run against Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins, the only Republican from a state that voted for Harris.

In Alaska, former Rep. Mary Peltola is running against Sen. Dan Sullivan. Peltola’s campaign announced on Monday that she had raised more than $8.9 million in the first fundraising quarter of this year.

Misleading headline by the Brits to say the Senate leans donk. The article lists only one conk seat that Cook has as lean donk (NC) and only one conk seat as tossup (OH). Still have to come up with 2 more conk seats. Maybe the Brits forgot to mention Maine. 270 has Maine as tossup and Alaska lean conk.

I don't disagree about it being misleading but the article mentions Maine (and Alaska) and they are at the bottom of what I quoted from the article.

Still, even if Democrats and independents win each of these races, Democrats would still need to win two more seats. In Maine, incumbent Gov. Janet Mills and oyster farmer Graham Platner are running in a race to be the nominee to run against Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins, the only Republican from a state that voted for Harris.

Last week was 218 conk (217 + 1 Indy that caucuses with the conks), 214 donk, 3 vacant.

This week
1 conk resignation
1 donk resignation
1 conk swearing in (today Clay Fuller (R-Ga.),
So 218-213-4.

Next week NJ 11 Special election goes donk, so in 2 weeks likely back to 218-214-3.

lol that shows you how out of touch Steyer is. It’s $4> nat avg, $<4 gas in the other 49 because CA is so big and expenses that it drags the national anvg up. So it’s $8 in CA (according to Steyer). Steyer should be asking why CA is so screwed up to have gas that it’s 2x the cost of the rest of the country.
