It’s over. Been over for at least the past few weeks. A Democratic flip.
This is at least the third Fox poll that has had Sherrod over 50%

This is the way.
#OHSen: Former Sen. Sherrod Brown (D) is up on TV with this response/contrast spot -- Male voiceover: "Seen these ads? They're a complete lie. Records show not only is this woman actually from Texas, she didn't have any surgery as a minor" "But, Jon Husted? He protected men who abused young girls by voting in the Senate to block the release of the Epstein files"

It’s a tsunami.
A decent way to think about 2026: many of the places that have swung the most towards Republicans during the Trump era (Iowa, Ohio, Wisconsin, south TX, north country of NY) are the places we could see some of the biggest pro-Dem swings this year.

Given the public polls and the partisan wave’s dynamic, it would be surprising if the Senate doesn’t flip.

The day was inevitable, but still arrives like a punch to the gut. Jon Kyl was the leader we all claim to want: Honest, fair, kind, smart, principled. A bridge-building, committed conservative. A personal mentor, the leader I aspired to. RIP, Senator.
Jon Kyl gave Arizona nearly three decades of principled, thoughtful leadership — and he gave me something just as valuable: his mentorship and friendship. I'll miss him deeply. Rest in peace, Senator Kyl.

My friends. This is the man running against racist Bo French. Give him a follow and some support. We need to fight racism everywhere
My name is Jon Rosenthal. I’m a career engineer, not a career politician. Today, I’m announcing my candidacy for the Texas Railroad Commission, one of the most corrupt offices in our state. Together, we’ll clean up the Railroad Commission and return it to the people.

At a private lunch today, Karl Rove told members he will vote for the Democrat over Bo French — who he called a bigot — ending a more than 3 decade streak of voting for only Republicans. Scoop from @carlosnogueras_ texastribune.org/2026/09/14/…

Mattingly won nine Gold Gloves between 1985 and 1994, missing out just one year in that whole run, and his glove is the reason opposing teams stopped testing him at first. Scouts always said his hands were as reliable as his bat, which is saying something for a .307 career hitter. Digging throws out of the dirt night after night is why teammates trusted him blind over there.

A wave has already formed. The only question is how big it is. I’m guessing it’s a big one.
