If Democrats had won the TX and FL Senate races in 2018 and NC Senate race in 2020, Bidens Presidency could have been so much better. It’d mean that the 3 more Conservative Democrats in the Senate (Manchin, Sinema, and Tester) wouldn’t have been able to sink BBB or the For The People Act. I know Tester voted for bills but I have a feeling he’d be the rotating villain we’d have to deal with if Democrats had 52 Senate seats. I don’t think there’d be a big villain that would go as far to sink those two if Democrats had 53 Senate seats.
I think BBB and the FTPA could be the difference between holding the House and winning the WI Senate race in 2022. Which would mean we’d have 55 Senate seats.
Also, if kind of irrelevant and not guarantee but I’d imagine if Democrats had won the 2018 Senate race they’d win the Governors race as well which means Florida doesn’t become a haven for Republicans and would still be somewhat of a swing state and Democrats would have a good shot at retaining it in 2024, and I think Beto would be popular enough to win re-election. Meaning Democrats could lose MT, OH, and WV and still hold the Senate in 2024. Hell, in this scenario they could lose MT, OH, WV, TX, and FL and still hold the Senate.
It really sucks how different things could be if those 3 Senate races were shifted just a point (or two for TX) to the Democrats.
