Ivanka may run in 2024 in an attempt to cash in on Trumpism but I think it's over if Biden takes this.
Not sure how the country is going to react to no more 24/7 Trump.
It'll be weird.
No Trump will ever be allowed into the GOP again. Don't get me wrong, Trump has done wonders to steal the blue collar base from the Democrats, but the man and his family are pure toxicity. Chelsea Clinton wouldn't fair well either. Sean Parnell just ousted Democrat Connor Lamb in Pittsburgh. Look for him to be a rising start in the GOP - late 30s and a decorated combat veteran who lead a company of men in Afghanistan. Veterans like me are getting really tired of these reservists who served as lawyers and spent 4 months at a Hilton pretending to be John Rambo.
I still think Crenshaw is going to be a superstar. Nikki Haley is who the Republican base will rally around, though. It's hard to pick a rising star on the Democratic side who isn't a niche left wing candidate or isn't getting held back by Pelosi. It could very well be a celebrity/billionaire candidate, ie the Rock or Bob Iger.
Could be a Governor. Hickenloopers a Senator who just won in CO, probably too short turnaround tho. I dunno. It won't be a retread of this year, aside from Kamala. I don't think it will be uncontested either, some Dems will run.
GOP I say Sasse, Haley, and you're right Crenshaw. They're the frontrunners at least. A few names will popup too. I think Cruz & Rubio are just an era gone by. Rubio could have a chance in 24 or 28, I think he'd more likely be a potential VP choice.

Oh, FFS, this is going to get stupid.

Meanwhile, Trump's lead in Georgia is down to just 1.4 points with a lot of Democratic vote still out. Will be razor thin here--and it seems on track to end up in recount territory, either way

Democrats are actually going to lose seats in the house, but still keep their majority. Does Pelosi survive the coming challenge now that the GOP picked up some of the more moderate democratic seats?
Re: Current Events Thread
GA looks like it'll flip with the remaining votes.
PA ain't going to matter.
Re: Current Events Thread
Window looks to be closing on trump. Seems highly unlikely he can do much. Sue everybody?!
Definitely wasn't the blue wave, trump definitely got a vote out, polls were oddly wrong twice now after seemingly being fairly accurate for decades, and the House/Senate didn't go Dems favor nearly as much as they hoped or expected. Georgia's a strange anomoly this year? Odd. NC I think Charlotte area is shifting and alot of Virginians are moving their as the DC metro has gotten expensive, and AZ similar getting alot of Californians. Also trashing McCain probably wasn't very smart but it didn't seem to impact him there in 16 so go figure. So I say GA was the oddity, TX even tho it didn't fully swing, it was a heavy shift to blue whereas the rest of the country stayed fairly red. Ohio dipped bluer than people expected, at least early on, myb I didn't see final tally.
