#SteveKornacki #2024Election #Politics
Does your analysis include the impact of pending anti-gerrymandering lawsuits that will redraw the map?
I don’t know the next time Democrats would hold the Senate. Consider that they “stole” 4 red seats in the last few cycles (2 in GA, 2 in AZ). With Sinema going Independent in the manner she did, it is unlikely she’ll be unopposed (like Sanders and King usually are). There’s a good chance Democrats split the vote with Sinema(I) and ???(D) handing it back to Republicans.
WV is going red. I can’t see it not happening.
OH – Brown has held that seat for a while, so he might keep it. But, he also is going up against Trump at the top of the ticket. But still, that’s a pretty red state.
MT – Tester won by a small margin. Also a red state.
NV, PA, MI, WI… all of those are up in the air as well.
There’s 8 seats (at least) that have to be defended in either red territory or in commonly contested areas. I can’t see Democrats winning 7 of the 8 seats.
On the other side… of the Republican seats that are up… you know you are in trouble when the only states that are part of the possible blue pickup conversation are TX, FL and TN. All of those are an outside chance.
And given all of that… the only seat that will come up in a cycle any time soon that is held by a Republican but in a commonly Democratic state is Maine. In other words, I think it will be some time before Democrats hold the Senate again. Unless voters make Republicans “pay” for their support of Trump. But that seems highly unlikely.
Prediction for 2024: Democratic House, Republican Senate, Democrat as President
West virginia has the most coal plants in america. “Coincidentally” it also has the highest rate of lung disease… hmmmm
There are a lot of knuckle draggers out there who think RFK Jr is like all the previous Kennedys , ergo the poll numbers are a reflection of that. The Times poll, this early out is pretty much useless.
FL, TX, MO and TN will flip blue in the senate to vote out their extremists
Kennedy actually helps Biden going 3rd party overall by 3 points. No Democrat was going to vote for Kennedy. Republicans were when Trump goes to prison.
He media and the politicians need to have an attitude adjustment. The type the we used back in the 17 and 1800s
Did you guys pay attention to the last election?! It’s not a stretch to say republicans will get crushed everywhere else.
Gotta make it interesting though I guess. This country is a joke.
The US needs a president like Trump
Lets be clear about this…Manchin is NOT a democrat…thats just who he claims to be. He is a repub through and through!!!!
This reporter guy is a Trump supporter.
Htf she got this job she is terrible asf. Steve needs to disappear and get a life
💙💙💙 *VOTE BLUE EVERYWHERE* 💙💙💙 💯
*”EQUAL JUSTICE UNDER THE LAW” Save our democracy!*
*We will have to out vote both the Republicans AND The NO LABLES, 3rd Party, candidate!*
Joe Manchin is essentially a Republican anyways, he votes more against the Democrats and with the Republicans anyways, so who cares if Republicans win West Virginia.
Demorats do not have a majority in the senate. There are 2 independents. I wish they stop saying they do.
*The Mob Boss has Spoken and the MOB is Listening!*
*TRUN Texas, Florida, Alabama, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Montana & Idaho BLUE!* 💙💙💙 💯
Put Ohio in the mix !!
*Don’t trust the New York Times Polling results! They have been corrupted!*
Kennedy24
AMERICANS WIN OVER FASCIST/MARXIST ENEMY DEMOCRATS.
Biden Top secret docs for sale in 2 homes, garage, 1800 boxes, China Spy offices U Penn, U Delaware, Boston, Chinatown, Storage units
Neat….Manchin is already a republican. Soooooo it’s a wash really.
TREASON U.S. Code 18-793. Biden China Spy balloon over Nuclear bases all week does it. SLAM DUNK GUILTY.
Put up LITERALLY ALMOST any person against these 2 and I bet that they do even better than RFK Jr. Ranked choice voting now please.
That Joe Manchin is so detached from reality that he thinks anyone in this country wants him to be president, when his won state stopped wanting him to be their senator a while ago, is just comically stupid. He’s either delusional, a narcissist, or both. And he has a real chance to do some serious damage to our nation by pursuing this self-indulgent political theater/fantasy of a Manchin Presidency…
Kristen Sinema is definitely losing her seat
Republican ❤❤❤❤❤ 2024
Am a independent lean Republican, & Id vote for Manchin over trump & Biden with no hesitation
Kennedy 2024
Imagine North Dakota with a population of 700,000 has the same vote in Congress as New York with 22,000,000. Basically grass and mountains decide how American citizens live.
Dear TaxChurches, you are WRONG. In the SENATE, ND and NY both have 2 senators each. In the HOUSE of Representatives, NY has 26 representatives while ND has only ONE.
So, NO, New York and North Dakota do NOT have equal representation in Congress. NY has more.
Read a book. Learn facts. It’s pretty simple.
@OldRustySteele Get real. I’m glad you know these things the rest of us learned in 7th grade. Trump was impeached by the Democratic House and found Not Guilty by the Republican Senate. Those 2 ND senators chose to put America through this clown nightmare again in 2024.
People don’t want to vote for Trump or Biden. Glad we have an alternative
No don’t believe it ,this is rubbish
US government 💩 show
this guy is the best on explaining all this stuff and very knowledgeable. If the Democrats lose the senate it is their own fault.
Oh they won’t,,,,,, the people wanted manchin out bought and paid for corruption
OK – time for a reality check – the “R’s” will REALLY win – the hard Leftist “D’s” will CHEAT and steal the Election AGAIN! The country will hollar and yell AGAIN – the hard Leftist “D’s will get away with it AGAIN! The Patriots of this Nation will roll over and LET THEM get away with their Stalinist Lefitst crimes AGAIN! God please step in and save/cleanse our land!
Polls mean nothing. Media just isn’t trustworthy anymore. They are owned by big corp and don’t run real stories anymore. Why you think their ratings are so low. Most of Americans don’t trust what they say.
it`s a reflection of the country is tired of all the failed woke policies / a brain dead old man with dementia walking around like a zombie falling down all over the place ! democrats are lunatics ! wars all around the world due to a pathetic weak leader the world laughs at ! remember ? they show all the gaffes this brain dead fool makes, that the USA mainstream media try`s to hide from the American people 😂😂😂
How is their still that many democrats? They are the covid of our country!
IMO the Democratic Party needs to at least put some action behind Zachary Shrewsbury until they see if he can get traction. He seems like a good, grassroots guy who’s a cross between Sherrod Brown and John Fetterman, could be just the sort to pull Democrats out of their WV nightmare.
If the polls indicate voters not wanting Pres Biden to run, why aren’t more media channels talking about Rep Dean offering to carry the torch and keeping Pres Biden’s plans moving forward?
Manchin was a DINO. Basically a republican anyway.
It’s sad people vote for the gop. They are no longer a viable party.
Red wave incoming
By , Manchin leaving it’s not going to be difficult for the Democrats to keep that seat also with Sinema seat they both wasn’t going to be re -lected anyway
Biden should offer Manchin a cabinet seat in exchange for Machin dropping out of the Presidential race and endorsing Biden.
Yes We are Kennedy appears to have numbers but in every instance of a independent third-party candidate those numbers are an illusion and they only end up being 4 and 5% instead of 20 or 30
Dem pick up in Colorado… MAYBE Texas and Florida. Doubt it, but if Trump isn’t on the ballot, we can get a blue wave while the Magards stay home cause their dear leader is MIA.
Is Kornacki a republican disguised as a pollster?
Soooooo…. Dose anyone believe in these polls anymore. Because I haven’t an accurate one since before bush…
Take a screenshot of the blue states and consider what the Democratic party has accomplished in the past three years. If you are a resident of one of these blue states, think critically about why you should vote for Democrats again. Vote wisely and consider vote for Republicans if you want to save the greatest country on earth!
You know if you Democrats had done even a mediocre job at running this country you wouldn’t have these problems…
Democrats are sweating rn.
@NBC NEWS===Watch out for this new FASHION STATEMENT as we see this reporter with the “””JORDAN LOOK””” as the REPUBLICANS gain in the election!!!! Discard or forget your SUIT JACKET and get into the JIM JORDAN look as HEY!!! it can,t hurt and maybe will SWING A FEW VOTES☆☆☆☆
Israel has its own news it’s Israeli Defense Force news it shows proof of where the hostages were put in the basement of hospitals. With hand grenades and bombs why is NBC News not posting this why is ABC not posting the videos that show proof of what Hamas is doing in hospitals and schools ABC is refusing to post the videos from the Israeli Defense Force newscast showing proof and why is my posting here going to be deleted
dems, indy, and traditional gop need to team up and get maga out of office to save our country.
now we have a chance to actually get a democratic now that joe is leaving
Trump 2024
Manchin wasn’t a Democrat anyway
VOTE THIRD PARTY NOW NO NEED TO BE BOUNDED BY DEMOCRATS OR REPUBLICANS
Joe Biden is gonna won
No one cares about our f@“d federal government
Trump shouldn’t even be on the Ballot after Jan6 etc Wake up Media that’s the Problem no one stands up to Him
Manchin No way DINO he’s about the💰💰💰💰💰💰💰as well as Others
That was a cool map with all the territories at the end
Love seeing this guy during election season.
There Ain’t No Doubt I Love This Land!!!! God Bless The USA!!!!
MAGA Forevermore
MAGA Elite
Anyone still take Kirsten welker seriously after the last debate
Uh the republicans are losing like crazy
The world is progressing. Moving onward. Not at a standstill
Democrats have ruined america.. Great job.
Gotta make up a seat somewhere else. As dogshit as republicans have been, it shouldn’t be too hard.
No one wants machine he literally helped block progress
These news media completely ignore the blue wave turn out with young voters
Why vote at all with so much election corruption? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MA8a2g6tTp0
If West Virginia wants a Republican and to vote republican, they can enjoy getting nothing from the government. Like most red states, they rely on government welfare. It’s not a great state right now and won’t get better with more republican representation.
In your face you America-hating lefties.
Message to Trumpers: You will never get the stink of trump off you…
Polls can and are being bought and paid for, and they are. DO NOT BELIEVE PHONEY POLLS. THEY JUST SHOW THE STORY THAT THE PEOPLE WHO PAY THEM WANT YOU TO HEAR. MAKE UP YOUR OWN MIND.
Missouri is a potential pick up . People in Missouri really hate Hawley.
Whether he was running or not, they’re look at 50/50 at sboslute best
Here’s a news flash. Republicans already have Arizona and West Virginia. Those two were the main roadblock to Biden moving his agenda forward.
It has to be a lot of corruption cuz I don’t understand how can you vote for a republican even if you live in a red state all they do is subtract Democrats are not that much better but they do leave you a crumb
And ohio
It’s wild people can look at the republican with no popular policies, no beneficial legislation and no plans to fix anything and think “this time it’ll be different”
I think Steve has not looked at the swing in Female voting trends in many of the recent elections!
I say let the red states leave the union. They are not contributing to the union anyway!
I can’t for the life of me figure out why democrates don’t want Trump in 2024
Ikr, he’s always been so nice to them.
great video until you totally misrepresented RFK jr by just labeling him as a vaccine sceptic
Americans disappoint me to no end . What has happened to the American electorate ? How can Americans go to the polls and vote the way they do ? Fox News can spew out whatever distortions and misrepresentations they wish ; common sense and critical thinking on the part of voters should negate whatever they say .
I often hear Americans respond to the absolute cruelty of the republicans by saying “that’s un-American “ . I’ve been hearing that for years . At some point in time you are what you are . Tapping yourselves on the shoulder and saying that we are better than that simply doesn’t cut it anymore .
Joe is sticking it too the dens again
Brown should be safe in Ohio. Montana and West Virginia are the biggest question marks for Dems.
Manchin will likely not run. Then RFK Jr being anti-vaccine is not a Biden vote stealer, but more a Trump vote stealer. Stein would be the big Biden vote stealer because of what happened in 2016. Manchin is hated among Dems and Republicans even because of Mylan.
With Manchin not running again his seat is pretty much gone for Democrats. But I do believe that Brown & Tester will hold on to their seats.
Democrats should also look elsewhere for possible pickups like Rick Scott’s or Ted Cruz‘s seat.
A fellow Umass Lowell Alum, go figure! Go Riverhawks! ❤️
