    The good news is that the Senate is vulnerable to flipping. 22 of the 35 seats up for election are currently held by Republicans, and only 13 by Democrats. Dems only need 4 seats to flip the Senate, and Senate races aren’t vulnerable to gerrymandering.

    The bad news is that this is the Senate class that was elected in 2020, so the Republicans up for election aren’t extremely vulnerable since they all survived a fairly blue election cycle.

      Right, but a lot of that would require either POTUS or 2/3. They might be able to do some things, but almost certainly can’t remove from office or override vetos
