#MidtermElection2022
In my youth: to trump meant breaking wind. I wonder whether it still means the same. #MidtermElection2022
The above means that the GOP Is one more seat away from securing 218 seats, and control of the House of Representatives (if they vote unanimously for their speaker).
HUGE UPDATE 11:15pm -US House of Representatives.
NYTimes calls 3 races: #CA41-R #CA45-R #NY22-R
and #CA13 FLIPPED #CA13 from "leans R" to "leans D"
Total count of calls + leaning seats:
GOP 221 - 214 Dem
To win, Dems must flip ALL 4 OF THE REMAINING "leans R" races:
@stux over here in the US, peeps are pretty happy and posting a lot. :) #MidtermElection2022
This is what accountability looks like. We can't say we are a democracy and then elect people who want to run all over it to grab the power they can't obtain through legitimate means. #MidtermElection2022

Die Demokraten behalten ihre Mehrheit im US-Senat! #midtermelection2022 (Screenshot: Washington Post)
Using the #CookPoliticalReport
Partisan Voting Index (an avg of the '16 and '20 Presidential results) for the outstanding remaining races: this would net +3 seats for Dems, and result in Dem control of the House, 219-216.
So this is all very up in the air.
3pm Thursday #MidtermElection2022 Update.
At the current vote counts (i.e. if all counting were stopped now) the result is GOP 219-216 Dems, and the GOP would take the US House of Reps.
This table is the current status of contested races (rated as such by Cook Political Report).
Dark colors are those which have already been called.
Light colors reflect the current status of the count - leaning Dem or leaning GOP.
#Pennsylvania, you rock!
Woke up confused. Is the US okay or fucked? There appears to be no consensus. #MidtermElection2022 #Vote #voteblue #wtfhappened
#MidtermElection2022 can't yet be called, but I'm seeing a number of projections for the Democrats to narrowly hold the Senate. If right, then it's a welcome kick in the pant to Trump/Maga, and an amazing win for Dems, but a door opening wider for the very dangerous deSantis, who is more skilled at culture war division and (sadly) isn't so mired in criminal cases and imminently on his way to prison.
I really need to be in bed and not watching CNN and following election live feeds ... There's something about US elections that's gripping. In 2020 I didn't have to get up for work in the morning, thankfully in 2022 I do. Not sure I'll be so thankful when the alarm goes off though #midtermelection2022
Watching the US election results feels like watching a relative on the verge of a relapse. #MidtermElection2022 #midtermelections #rubio #seriously
Horreur, malheur. Les Républicains en très bonne position pour contrôler la Chambre des représentants et il leur faut juste gagner un siège démocrate pour prendre également le contrôle du sénat. Terrible. Ce pays risque de s'enfoncer encore plus dans l'obscurantisme... #MidtermElection2022
What's your feeling? Will the Republicans take the House and Senate in the US Midterm elections? #USAmidterms #MidtermElection2022 #ElectionDay
Also wenn die Republikaner in den #midtermelection2022 gewinnen und #Trump 2024 auch können sich die #Ukraine und #Europa warm anziehen
