A blue wave? Don't hold your breath, libs.

Yes, traditionally the party in the White House loses seats in the Mid Term elections, regardless of how well the country is doing. Almost every lib here is beating off at the prospect of both Houses of Congress going Democratic, Trump being arrested, taxes going up and the border being opened again.
Not so fast, folks.

How a midterm tie gets settled in the case of the Senate

A tied Senate could leave control of the chamber uncertain after the 2026 midterm elections. Past 50-50 splits in 2000 and 2020 offer clues about how lawmakers could negotiate power sharing agreements in 2027.

How a midterm tie gets settled in the case of the Senate​

Yes. In the case of a tie roll call vote, the vice president — who doubles as president of the Senate – can vote to break a tie vote. In fact, the VP doesn’t even have to cast a ballot if it’s a tie and the roll call vote is going the way he or she wants. By rule, tie votes go down to defeat in the Senate.

But what if we wake up Wednesday morning (if not Friday or Saturday morning or sometime in early December, depending on how hotly contested things are) to discover that the Senate is tied at 50-50?

There is nothing in the Senate’s 44 standing rules which serves as a tiebreaker. The Founders didn’t provide a system to bust up a tie and determine which side is in the majority or minority. And no, it’s not written down anywhere that the party of the President is automatically thrust into the majority.
No clear majority. No obvious path forward. A tied Senate could force Republicans and Democrats into a high-stakes power-sharing battle.

And unlike the forum KOOK SITES enthusiast, this information comes from the most reliable news source on the planet .

Didn't he basically concede yesterday at the TRUMP reflecting pool total failure project ? He should put his name on it since it was such a huge failure, way overbudget and full of corruption/ pay offs/ lies

Hey… go back to reading names for roll call.

Dems already have a minimum of 54 in the senate; it could be 56 with Alaska and Mississippi.

That's only because you are a simple minded welfare bum. You are unable to grasp complex arguments.
That said, it was surprising that so many Republicans stayed home.
At least Florida didn't disappoint. We are the best educated state in the Union and have the best economy for a reason. Most of us have jobs, (which means we are Republican.)

Turnout was quite high. It’s not so much that Republicans stayed home as that they are greatly outnumbered.

Republicans don’t know how to use the mailbox apparently.
