Midterm Elections Of 2026

Democrats Have Major Advantages In Upcoming Presidential Election Of 2028!

Ronald 51 Comments

As a result of the “Blue Tsunami” that occurred on Election Day 2026, the Democratic Party has major advantages in the upcoming Presidential Electlon of 2028.

We start off with the 19 states and DC won by Kamala Harris in 2024, a total of 226 electoral votes. These states in New England, the Northeast, the Midwest, the Southwest, and the Pacific Coast and Hawaii, are certain to remain Democratic, as they are the stronghold of the Democratic Party in many past elections. One electoral vote in Maine, which allows division of their electoral votes, was lost in 2024, but the total as it was that year was 226 electoral votes.

Then, a large group of states (11) that were Republican in 2024, have switched massively to the Democrats.

Texas is the big “catch”, having moved away dramatically from Republicans, and electing Democrats to all state executive positions including the Governorship, along with a Democratic Senator and a number of Democratic House members being elected to the Congress.

So the odds are that if Texas follows the trend they are now on, their 40 electoral votes would add to the 226 from 2024, making the total 266, just four electoral votes from winning the Presidency, with or without the majority of the popular vote.

Add just one of the states who switched from Republican to Democrat outside of Texas, and it would be enough to gain 270 electoral votes, the number needed to win, meaning a total of 21 states, because of Texas being added to the Democratic states.

This includes the following ten additional states:

Pennsylvania 19 electoral votes
Ohio 17 electoral votes
North Carolina 16 electoral votes
Georgia 16 electoral votes
Michigan 15 electoral votes
Arizona 11 electoral votes
Wisconsin 10 electoral votes
Nevada 6 electoral votes
Iowa 6 electoral votes
Kansas 6 electoral votes

These ten states all elected Democrats for Governor, with Ohio, North Carolina, Georgia, Nevada, Iowa, and Kansas, all switching from Republican state control as a result of the midterm election.

If Texas goes Democratic with its 40 electoral votes, then at the least, either Iowa, Kansas, or Nevada, all with 6 electoral votes, would be enough to reach the magic number of 270 electoral votes.

If Texas goes back to the Republicans, only a minimum of 44 electoral votes need to be won by the Democrats, which means if Pennsylvania (19), Ohio (17), and North Carolina or Georgia (both 16) went to the Democrats, that would be enough to gain 270 electoral votes, and the Presidency.

And the other six states listed, if they combined, they would reach exactly the number of 54, 10 more than needed, so one could leave out Wisconsin in theory, to win 270 electoral votes.

If all 10 states above AND Texas went to the Democrats in 2028, which is certainly possible, the grand total of the electoral vote, with a total of 30 states and DC, would be 388 electoral votes, with Republicans winning 20 states and 150 electoral votes.

So at this time, two years ahead of the Presidential Election of 2028, one could conclude that the Democrats have a 90 percent chance of electing the next President of the United States.

American Democracy Survives: A Political Earthquake, A Blue Tsunami Across America!

Ronald 26 Comments

American Democracy survives, as America has a political earthquake and a Blue Tsunami, fulfilling this author and blogger’s bold prediction, that this would occur.

The Donald Trump era is in rapid decline, and all of the hysteria, the lies, and the horrendous nastiness of the Republican Party, was totally repudiated.

The Democrats now have the advantage and the opportunity to change the course of the Trump era, and will have a great advantage in the upcoming Presidential Election of 2028.

And Vice President JD Vance has destroyed his future, with his horrendous, disgraceful statements on a multitude of issues, making him highly unlikely to be the Republican nominee in 2028.

Of course, if Donald Trump leaves office before the end of the term, by whatever means, JD Vance would be President, but would have zero chance to be elected to a full term.

Over the coming days, this author and blogger will analyze in detail the amazing results of this pathbreaking election, certainly the most significant since the massive Republican takeover in 1994, after two years of the Bill Clinton Presidency.

One Final Pre Election Thought On Two US Senate Elections

Ronald 7 Comments

As voters nationally are voting, with election results starting to be reported in a few hours, this is a final Pre Election Thought.

With the likely result in Texas being the election of Democratic nominee James Talarico over Republican nominee Ken Paxton in the US Senate race, if that happens, it will be clear that the Republicans ran the wrong candidate, Paxton, who was backed by Donald Trump in the primary,over sitting Senator John Cornyn. It seems highly likely that Cornyn could have retained his seat, and James Talarico would have lost the election.

With the likely result in South Carolina being the election of Democratic nominee Dr. Annie Andrews over Republican nominee Senator Darline Graham in the US Senate race, if that happens, it will be clear that the Republicans and Donald Trump supported the wrong candidate in the primary. If Congressman Ralph Norman had been the nominee, it is highly likely that Norman would have won the Senate seat, and Dr. Annie Andrews would have lost the election.

At this moment, it looks highly likely both James Talarico in Texas, and Dr. Annie Andrews in South Carolina, will enter the Senate for the 120th Congress (2027-2029).

Both states have, for many decades have been strongly Republican, but that now seems likely to end, partially due to the poor choice of who the Republican nominees should have been.

If Democrats Win Midterms, Their Plans Moving Forward!

Ronald 13 Comments

Democrats in Congress have a broad plan of their agenda and actions, if they take control of Congress in the Midterm Elections of 2026.

Among their plans:

Address the “Affordability” Crisis–fuel, gasoline, and more

Combat the corruption of the Trump Administration, including, unlikely, the pursuit of impeachment of Trump, and many of his Cabinet members

Restoring Health Care Subsidies and Medicaid Resources

Restore the Affordable Care Act Health Care Premium Subsidies

Moving to end the Iran War and Donald Trump’s protective tariffs

Pass a serious ban on lawmakers’ trading stocks

Investigate the corrupt use of Presidential Pardons by Donald Trump

Take action to make ICE more accountable

Legislation to raise the minimum wage

Figure out a way to regulate artificial intelligence

Use spending bills to try to force policy changes, which could result in a government shutdown crisis

Focus on Child Care and Elder Care legislation

Attempt to promote Medicare For All

Tax Increases on Wealthy Americans, reversing the massive tax cuts for the elite

It is clear that the Democrats will have to be aggressive in pursuit of accomplishing many of their goals, as we move toward the Presidential Election of 2028, with the announcement of Presidential candidacies likely to start shortly after the full results of the Midterm Elections are accomplished,

Blue “Tsunami” Is Likely For Senate Races On November 3!

Ronald 32 Comments

It seems to this blogger and author that we are on the cusp of a Blue “Tsunami”, which will dramatically change both houses of Congress.

The Senate, presently 45 Democrats and Two Independents (Bernie Sanders of Vermont, Angus King of Maine), and 53 Republicans, are highly likely to see a massive switch of seats.

I believe there will be a switch of ELEVEN Republican seats to the Democrats, including one new “Independent”, making the Senate 55 Democrats and 3 Independents, with Dan Osborn of Nebraska being the new “Independent”, as against the Republicans, who would have 42 seats.

Here are my predictions, and even if somewhat wrong, definitely, a Democratic majority seems certain.

First, Georgia with Jon Ossoff will win big, and the new Democratic candidates in Michigan (Abdul El-Sayed); Minnesota (Peggy Flanagan); and New Hampshire (Chris Pappas) will keep those seats Democratic.

But beyond that, 11 seats will change, 10 Democrats and 1 Independent who will align with the Democrats:

Maine–Troy Jackson
North Carolina–Roy Cooper
South Carolina–Dr Annie Andrews
Florida–Angie Nixon
Mississippi–Scott Colum
Texas–James Talarico
Ohio–Sherrod Brown
Kansas–Adam Hamilton
Iowa–Josh Turek
Nebraska–Dan Osborn (Independent)
Alaska–Mary Peltola

The most massive change (13 seats) occurred once in 1958 when Democrats won 13 seats in the Midterm Elections of that year, during the Presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower.

Three times–1980 Republicans gained 12 seats with election of Ronald Reagan; 1946 Republicans gained 12 seats in Midterm Elections under Harry Truman; and 1932 Democrats gained 12 seats with election of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

There is also a slight possibility that Montana with Independent Seth Bodnar; Idaho with Independent Todd Achilles; Kentucky with Charles Booker; and South Dakota with Independent Brian Bengs, might have a shot at winning, but it seems highly unlikely.

We shall see how accurate my projections are in a few days.

Republican Party Of Donald Trump Promotes Prejudice, Hatred, Discrimination, And Bias Against Many Groups Of Americans!

Ronald 75 Comments

As the nation nears the Midterm Elections of 2026, reality makes clear that the Republican Party of Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans promote:

Racism
Prejudice
Discrimination
Hatred
Bias
Misogyny

against many groups of Americans.

This includes:

Gay Americans
Trans Americans
Hispanic-Latino Americans
African Americans
Muslim Americans From Middle East and South Asian heritage
Elements Of Anti Semitism against Jewish Americans
Women’s Rights
East Asian and South Asian Americans

This is tragic, as denial of basic human rights and protections have drastically affected gay and trans Americans, with so much vehemence by right wing extremists and Christian supremacists.

Hispanic-Latino Americans have been rounded up by ICE in a brutal fashion, placed in outrageous deportation facilities and horribly mistreated, including a vast majority of citizens or legal residents.

African Americans have faced open racism in a brutal manner, sadly nothing new in the lives of people who deserve better.

Muslim Americans as a group have been accused of lack of loyalty to America, and been made out to be supporters of what happened on September 11, 2001, when the World Trade Center was attacked.

Because of a split over the Israel-Gaza War, large elements of antisemites, and right wing extremist influencers, have promoted the idea of Jews being a group to be hated and face violence, and also the call for destruction of the Jewish state of Israel.

Women’s Rights have been affected, with the push to send women back home to be mothers and wives, and not have careers.

These misogynists advocate the vicious mistreatment of women by male chauvinists and the “manosphere”, who believe women can be violated by men for their own sexual desires, not concerning themselves with the harm visited upon women by rape.

East Asian and South Asian Americans, whether citizens or legal residents, have also been victims of ICE, and faced racial prejudice.

The contradiction is that we have Republicans in power who fit all of these groups, and who do not speak up and oppose the discriminatory policies of the bigoted, biased, hateful, prejudiced President Donald Trump, clear evidence of pure hypocrisy.

The Republican Party needs to be soundly defeated in state races across the nation, and in races for both houses of Congress.

They need to be held accountable for their reprehensible behavior, including Donald Trump, his Cabinet and other advisors, and state leaders and Congressional members who sow hatred, and act as sycophants.

There is a dire need for the reshaping of the Republican Party, returning to the traditional conservatism of its long historic past, as otherwise, there is the necessity of a new political party replacing this extreme MAGA Republican Party and its disgraceful leader, Donald Trump.

Donald Trump Reaches An All Time Low In Public Opinion Polls With A Week Until The Midterm Elections Of 2026!

Ronald 34 Comments

President Donald Trump has managed to pursue policies in his first two years of his second term to accomplish the all time low in public opinion of any President during his time in office.

It is clear with greatly increased early voting that we will see a larger turnout in a midterm election than is traditional, as millions of Americans are angry:

over the inflation of gasoline and groceries and so much else,

the Iran War,

the tariffs,

the cruel deportation policies,

the massive corruption,

the clear mental deterioration of Trump,

AI and the data centers,

the racism and misogyny of Trump,

his horrendous Cabinet members,

and the sycophancy of Republicans in both houses of Congress, and so much more.

So vast numbers of Latino Americans,

Arab Americans,

young men and women voters,

highly educated voters,

urban voters,

and suburban voters

are clearly switching away from Trump and his party, even though large numbers of these groups voted Republican in 2024.

Every indication is that the Democratic Party will be the beneficiary of the anger and frustration toward Republicans and Donald Trump, particularly when Trump brags about his acquisition of his massive wealth in office, and his mocking of “Affordability”.

Also, it is typical and traditional that the party in the White House and in control of Congress traditionally loses seats or control in one or both houses of Congress in midterm elections, and it seems quite certain that we are on the way to a Democratic control of the House of Representatives, and very strong likelihood that will occur in the US Senate, as well.

Science And Public Health Advocacy Would Be Promoted By Election Of Amy Acton As Ohio Governor, And Annie Andrews As South Carolina Senator!

Ronald 4 Comments

There is a growing possibility that two Democratic women doctors, who are major advocates of science and public health, may be elected to the Governorship of Ohio and a US Senate seat in South Carolina.

Dr. Amy Acton is a brilliant person who has now moved into a growing lead over Tech Entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy in the race for Ohio Governor.

As condemned by all decent people, Ramaswamy has reached a new low bar in political campaigning, with his posting of a political ad claiming that Acton has lied about being raped by her stepfather between ages 9 and 12, and with her mother abandoning her and fleeing out of state after her second husband was indicted for rape.

With no contact between her mother, and Acton and her brother since 1978, Ramaswamy had the gall to put the mother in the ad, demonstrating to all moral and ethical people how horrible a mother she was.

Ramaswamy has doubled down on the ad, despite many Republicans, including outgoing Governor Mike DeWine, who had employed Acton as Ohio Public Health Director, calling for the ad to be taken down, and Donald Trump backing the ad and Ramaswamy.

Amy Acton is the kind of person who has, despite her personal turmoil over being raped, accomplished a great career in public service, and will be a great Governor who has promoted the best in science and public health.

Dr Annie Andrews is a brilliant candidate for the Senate from South Carolina, and her opponent, Darline Graham, sister of the recently deceased Senator Lindsey Graham, was appointed and then nominated for the full Senate term, despite having zero qualifications, and demonstrated incompetence. The only reason that Graham has continued on as the candidate for the full term is due to Trump’s promotion and endorsement.

Polls indicate a strong likelihood that both Acton as Governor, and Andrews as US Senator, are likely to be elected, and let’s hope that is the ultimate judgment on the Republican Party, and Donald Trump.

Let us not forget that Donald Trump has hidden much of the Epstein Files, and the strong likelihood that Trump has violated many young girls over many decades, often in collaboration with Jeffrey Epstein, and now is defending the rapist against the victim.

If that is not enough to convince voters, then the nation is in deep, long term trouble.

Dr. Amy Acton (D) Vs Vivek Ramaswamy (R), Possibly The Worst Of The Worst In The Republican Party!

Ronald 10 Comments

The Republican Party has stooped to a new low in many of their candidates for public office, and the worst of the worst is Ohio Gubernatorial nominee Vivek Ramasway competing with Democratic nominee Dr. Amy Acton.

Ramaswamy has an horrendous record of how he deals with others, and has demonstrated arrogant lack of character, decency, morals, ethics, and compassion.

Quite the opposite in character and behavior is Acton, who is very inspiring as a public servant who cares about Ohio state residents, and wanting to make life better and promote tolerance.

Ramaswamy demonstrated how cocky and arrogant he was, becoming wealthy as an entrepreneur in the biotechnology field of business, engaging in corporate malpractice that hurt many investors.

Without any sense of humility or compassion, he became engaged in shady activities, and is worth at least $2-3 billion as a result.

Ramaswamy, as a Republican Presidential contender in 2024, promoted the Evangelical Christian Right and White Christian Nationalism, although he grew up as a Hindu with family from India.

Ramaswamy also has condemned Covid 19 Vaccines, denies climate change, and is extremely anti Trans, vehemently against gay people, and those who advocate feminism.

His beliefs on executive power mirror those of Donald Trump, wanting to declare war on civil service protections, take away labor rights, and abolish at least five federal agencies.

He also advocated raising the voting age to 25, violating the 26th Amendment; and is against birthright citizenship, even though he is a beneficiary of such.

He has also advocated a Pro Russian view on the Ukraine intervention, and says he would not defend Taiwan against an invasion by China

He has also promoted conspiracy theories on September 11 and January 6, and then denied he said such, despite documented proof otherwise.

But now, Ramaswamy has reached a new low, that has been roundly condemned by many Republicans and Democrats, by posting a political ad, with the estranged mother of Dr Amy Acton, who denied that her second husband, who became the stepfather of Amy and her brother, had sexually abused Amy, and raped her at age 12 in 1978.

Her mother backed her husband, and a breach occurred, with no contact since then by the mother with her two children.

Amy Acton’s mother even fled the state with her second husband, and he was able to avoid prosecution, when it should have been pursued, as he was indicted by a grand jury. The couple remained married until his death.

This is an outrageous way to attack an opponent on sexual violence, confirmed by Acton’s brother, and Ohio will have a horrendous, corrupt Governor if they elect Ramaswamy in November.

Dr. Amy Acton, a physician, overcame her difficult childhood, and became Ohio Health Director under Ohio Governor Mike DeWine in 2019-2020 on the Covid 19 response to promote vaccines, and was widely praised as Ohio’s Dr. Anthony Fauci.

But lunatic Republicans and anti vaccine conspiracists forced her out of her position, although she was on the right side of history. To honor her courageous work against Covid 19, the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum gave her the Profiles in Courage Award in 2021.

She engaged in teaching medicine and public health at Ohio State University earlier, and worked in non profit sector work before deciding to run for the Ohio Governorship.

Acton, who is Jewish, stands out as a great, courageous public servant, who does not deserve the outrage of Ramaswamy exploiting her horrible childhood, and claiming she is lying.

So hopefully, decent people in Ohio on Election Day will vote Acton in as their governor, and repudiate the horrendous Vivek Ramaswamy.
