If Kemp runs and wins, Dems would have to flip 5 seats to win the Senate.
So even if Rs lost ME and NC, probably the most vulnerable seats, it would not be enough.
If Trump is very unpopular heading into the midterms, Rs could conceivably lose OH if Sherrod Brown tries a comeback.
I don’t see any other vulnerabilities. IA maybe.
R pickups?
Maybe MI depending on who the Dems nominate.

“The federal judge overseeing the lawsuit seeking to save USAID from the DOGE buzzsaw made an interesting dodge in his decision yesterday imposing a temporary restraining order on the Trump administration. Federal District Court Judge Amir H. Ali, a Biden judge so left-wing that he was confirmed only by a 50-49 vote, did the bidding of the plaintiffs and ordered funding to be resumed on USAID contracts that were in force on the last day Biden was president. After ordering funding to resume, he adds this:
This is significant because the grants probably have cancellation clauses in them.
So while he mandated the grants continue to be funded, he is also saying the administration can cancel them.

This is a different perspective of the obvious corruption going on in Ukraine by someone who has witnessed it themselves. No one @ HHR has ever denied the fact that Russian invaded Ukraine. Nor has anyone here not felt the average Ukrainian has suffered a lot because of this war — many being slaughtered on the open fields and buried in burgeoning cemeteries. Where the differing opinions always arise is how honestly our enormous aid packages have been used. With Zelenskyy’s own admission of receiving less than half of what was said to have been given to Ukraine, the suspicion of misallocation of monies and weaponry has only grown – deservedly so. Consequently the constant harping and redundancy of name calling by bitter and jason seems out of place.

”All over Europe Ukranian govt officials are seen driving exotic cars, arriving in multi-million-dollar yachts, staying at the most expensive hotels, shopping at exclusive stores, buying jewelry and watches. They Ukraine military and govt officials are generally living a life of stunning opulence and overwhelming indulgence. When you travel there, people simply nod toward the visibility of it and say, “Ukraine.” It’s an open joke, and they are hated.
Generally speaking, the government officials from Ukraine are considered vile, vulgar, rude and cruel by the ‘simple people’ who see them. And trust me, it is impossible to miss their arrogance. I never had an opinion about them until I witnessed it myself. The vibe they give off is foul.”

MUNICH (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Friday that his country wants “security guarantees” before any talks with Russia, as the Trump administration presses both countries to find a quick endgame to the three-year war.
Shortly before sitting down with Vice President JD Vance for highly anticipated talks at the Munich Security Conference, Zelenskyy said he will only agree to meet in-person with Russian leader Vladimir Putin after a common plan is negotiated with U.S. President Donald Trump.”
