Democrats projected to keep control of the US Senate
With VP Harris as tie breaker, Democrats will retain control even if Warnock fails to win re-election. If Warnock wins, Dems gain a seat majority thereby making Kyrsten Sinema irrelevant.
Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto’s victory in Nevada on Saturday clinched the chamber for Democrats, giving them the 50 seats needed regardless of the outcome of next month’s runoff election in Georgia.The victory is a major boost to President Joe Biden in the second half of his term, both for his legislative agenda and his ability to appoint judges and other officials.

Lookng ahead. Kagan and Sotomayor need to resign while Biden is in.

I read those articles. They operate on the assumption — so common among Democrats — that the future spells certain doom for years to come. Anyone who still believes that learned nothing over the past week.
Now the Warnock/Walker race becomes a race to depose Sinema. That is a worthy goal and there is a “Delaware for Warnock” FB group if you want to help take part.

It’s more than that. It’s a six-year term. Need every D we can get to forestall the inherent anti-democratic tendencies of the composition of the Senate, where every state gets two senators.
True. Still a very important race.
