Well, BLM and Antifa are the militant wing of the Democrat Party, and are self proclaimed Marxists…Perhaps the Latino community is just well informed😉

It’s driven by the fundamentals. All things being equal, the out-party gains about 30 house seats and 4 senate seats in the midterms. Throw in Biden’s approval and inflation, and this should be a GOP bloodbath.

I honestly don't know this, is that really the average?

 

I wonder if that's different from like 1980 compared to the last 15-20 years.

Nice thanks.

 

I would be interested in seeing more recent trends, it feels like it has been more substantial differences as of late, but that could be from sensationalization.

I find it very funny how many "reporters" and "analysts" clearly root for their teams on Twitter on election days and then try to act impartial the other 364 days of the year.

 

That's not unique to Democrats or Republicans either.

 

It's like watching John Wawrow cheer for the Bills lol

The GOP gained seats in 2020

 

Their ceiling tonight was probably always 240

 

They’ll be at 225-230

 

 

The Senate is not much a mystery.  Long shot candidates in PA GA and AZ.

Depends on the date range. 
 

https://www.cfr.org/blog/2022-midterm-congressional-elections-numbers?amp

 

“Going back to Harry Truman’s presidency, the president's party has lost, on average, twenty-nine House seats in each president’s first midterm election.”

 

I’m sure it varies if you change the ranges and Bush was the exception by gaining seats after 9/11, but the President’s party generally does very poorly in the midterms.
