First the good news for Democrats (besides winning the White House): The Senate race in Alaska looks to be very close, and the independent there, Al Gross, who aligns with Democrats, could very well snatch that seat, where votes won’t finish counting until this coming Tuesday at the earliest. That would mean that Democrats would still need to win one of the two upcoming runoff elections in Georgia, where both the Ossoff-Perdue and Warnock-Loeffler contests will be decided during the first week of January. Traditionally, Democrats have done significantly worse in runoffs than in the general elections before them. Between now and then, Democrats will have to pivot from their general election message -- Trump needs to go -- and come up with a rationale for why it’s good to have the Senate in Democratic hands.
As much as I hope cable news ignores all Trump tweets, rallies etc, that’s wishful thinking. He’s too big a cash cow to be silenced. Somehow, Trump will be a regular player on mass media.
