My fellow political cassandras, please join me in making your predictions for the 2022 midterms general election as well as for the early announcements of the 2024 presidential elections.

Winners will be those who correctly predict:

1. Earliest & most accurate forecast for the dem/gop head counts in the U.S. Senate & U.S. House after the 2022 midterms

2. Earliest & most accurate calls for individual 2022 U.S. Senate races

3. Earliest & most accurate predictions of the 2024 announcements to run for U.S. president

4. Bonus round/tie breaker: Earliest & most accurate bat-out-of-hell upset victory in the 2022 midterms

Feel free to suggest your own & I’ll add them.


My Predictions:

1. Midterms outcome: GOP will win the U.S. House 235-210.

2. Dems will hold their current 50 seats in the U.S. Senate, although there will be some switches for parties:

* Dems will gain PA & one other state TBD (maybe WI)

* Dems will lose NV & AZ

3. 2024 presidential candidates:

* Trump will likely run again (duh) and if so, then DeSantis will NOT run against him. It’s liberal wishcrafting to imagine that they’re mortal enemies when, instead, DeSantis is Trump’s protege and (imo) they’re more likely to run as a joint ticket. DeSantis is only 43 and has all the time in the world to wait out Trump, and nothing to gain by runnning against him.

* Biden will not run for reelection; this will be announced in the first quarter of 2023.

* Once Biden announces his long overdue retirement, there will be an immediate & strong push from khive/clintonites to give Kopmala an air of inevitability and those who disagree will be convicted of misogynoir.

4. Bat-outta-hell prediction:

* Shaheen loses NH and/or Walker wins GA.


I’m not at all confident in my own predictions, and my history of them is mixed.

:shrug: Ok, so he didn't run as an indy. I SAID MY PREDICTIONS WERE MIXED.

Let’s see what you’ve got!

Tangentially Relevant

Dems keep the Senate and pick up seats.
I'm optimistic about the House but I think the Dems lose it by less than ten Representatives. If the Dems do lose the House McCarthy will not be Speaker. Record turnout for midterms and what should've been a red wave ends with a whimper.
Dems win in '24 regardless, because Trump is the Republican nominee and it's basically the same race as '20 but with people even more disgusted by the fat gently caress.

4. Bat-outta-hell prediction:

Sharice David loses

Sharice Davids got redistricted by the republican legislature. But her opponent, Amanda Adkins, is the person who wrote the failed constitutional amendment to ban abortions (although I don't think that hurt Adkins) and her district still includes KC and the KC metro. Everyone's saying it's a tossup but I think she loses.

GOP wins house handily
Senate is stalemate (GA to GOP, PA to Dem)
Trump is the nominee in 24
Biden is the nominee in 24
Biden loses to the once and future presdinald.

Bat outta hell prediction:

Either Liz Cheney or the Forward party runs as a spoiler in 24 and Trump wins the popular vote as well

Zerg Mans
Oct 19, 2006

Dems pick up a seat in the senate, lose house

Biden announces 1 term only after midterms

Pritzker/Klob are nominees

Trump/DeSantis are the other nominees

Trump wins with the inverted Grover Cleveland, losing the popular vote worse than either two elections. WI assembly gives their electors to Trump even though Pritzker won the state by 6 points.
