Nothing to lose but my dignity final predictions

Also house around 225 R to many close house races for an exact prediction

[Austin’s election Corner @ElectionCorner]

It won’t be official until middle of June but it’s Hilton vs Beccera Hilton over preforms but it’s not close to enough and Xavier Beccera is governor from 27 to 35

[Austin’s election Corner @ElectionCorner]

Had Hilton and Bianco tied the vote like they had been early in the primary they would be behind both Styer and Beccerra, all be it by a hair but democrats could “find” votes to lock them out

That’s why Trump consolidated around Hilton to avoid that

[Austin’s election Corner @ElectionCorner]

Lazy campaigner with an underwhelming campaign

[John Quincy Adams Fan @redfang58]

Anyone know why Feenstra is struggling?

[Austin’s election Corner @ElectionCorner]

Looks like Hilton will make the ballot so we don’t have to worry about a two dem lock out tonight

Two reps at the top was always a stretch anyway

See you in three weeks to see which Dems makes it

[Austin’s election Corner @ElectionCorner]

It’s not over yet but Feenstra losing on a Trump endorsement is embarrassing for him

[Austin’s election Corner @ElectionCorner]

A lot of people are not emotionally prepared for when it’s Harris Vs Vance and both primaries aren’t close to close

[Latinx Adjacent Doctor PhD @TonerousHyus]

@varadmehta The incredibly boring 2028 GOP primary makes the media sad

[Austin’s election Corner @ElectionCorner]

(The guy is named Toby not the actor this is a joke)

[Austin’s election Corner @ElectionCorner]

Man the incumbent governor and state wide congressman losing to Toby from the office in SD is one upset

[Austin’s election Corner @ElectionCorner]

SD NM and IA are up

NM is boring and IA is pretty much known for both sides

SD might prove small markets a boon to businessman running for governor

[Austin’s election Corner @ElectionCorner]

California we likley will tell if we will know tonight

If Hilton has consolidated to make the ballot or not

If we will see at least one person make the ballot that night

If polling was accurate or not

Outside of that it will be weeks until we know the general ballot

[Austin’s election Corner @ElectionCorner]

Swalwell they hit with the stick

Biden I think was a mix of the carrot and stick

[Austin’s election Corner @ElectionCorner]

There’s the idea of the carrot and the stick

You try to buy them off the you try to hurt them if they still don’t co operate

Dems don’t have either with Platner

They can’t give him what is better than a senate seat for him and they can’t take anything from him either

[David Hines @hradzka]

Yeah, the DNC loves them a smoke-filled room but Platner’s not the guy who’s going to give them one.

[Austin’s election Corner @ElectionCorner]

@BasedChinchilla Dems nuked Swalwell from orbit so that’s not happening anymore

So it’s better to get a rep on the ticket so we don’t get nuked down ballot

[Austin’s election Corner @ElectionCorner]

@BasedChinchilla Operation chaos is always a stretch even in best circumstances

Both reps have to poll evenly for long that’s hard to do as we saw Bianco fade on his own

Dems have to clown car and never consolidate out of their own flaws with several candidates in high teens at most

[Austin’s election Corner @ElectionCorner]

I mean it would make sense if there was a risk of two Dems on the top of the ticket but the numbers look like that Hilton is secure enough he will for sure make the ballot

Either way California primary day is only a weekend away so nothing we can do now to change how it goes

[Sean Fitzgerald (Actual Justice Warrior) @IamSean90]

This is the lowest IQ nonsense I've ever seen. California has a jungle primary, the goal should be to get the top 2 to be Republicans by getting the Dems to split the vote, to ensure a Republican wins. Dropping out does nothing but further set up a Democrat victory, you dope

[Austin’s election Corner @ElectionCorner]

I think his main goal is to try to appeal to Boomer nostalgia on anti Vietnam sentiment

Zoomers don’t hate the Iraq war because people were sent off to die they hate it because they think it was about oil or correctly realize it wasn’t when it should have been

[Matt Whitlock @MattWhitlock]

This attack line his consultants came up with makes zero sense.

Platner volunteered to serve and even went back with Blackwater because he wanted to kill some people” and said it was a “hell of an excellent experience.”

Does he think everyone is stupid?

[Austin’s election Corner @ElectionCorner]

Also use physical barriers to keep in prisoners instead of one that requires a power source

[best of Star Trek @bestofStarTrek]

Why don't computer terminals and holodecks require admin level logins?

[Austin’s election Corner @ElectionCorner]

Democrats will give up on blue Texas about five minutes before the heat death of the universe

[Midwestern Patriot 🇺🇸 @MWpatriot01]

If 2026 truly is a blue wave and Ken Paxton wins anyways by 5+ will Democrats finally give up on blue Texas?

[Austin’s election Corner @ElectionCorner]

Ernst and Tillis chickened out so functionally four this cycle

Honestly we could have gotten SMC in WV if we ran somebody worth while

[America First Insight @AF_Insight]

Reminder that NEVER in USA History, have two elected Republican Senators been primaried in the same cycle.

[Austin’s election Corner @ElectionCorner]

Paxton wins

Cornyn is way behind where he wants to be to even have a prayer in the primary

At least 13 new senators will be elected in 2026
