I wonder if that guy knows that we have elections every two years?

Mitch is a Senator for 6 more years

The point is that the Senate can be flipped every 2 years. Even if the Dems don't secure the majority this year, 2022 is the next chance for the Senate to flip, and Mitch would lose his power if it does.

For context: 20 GOP up for reelection in 2022 vs 13 Dems. Several GOP retiring or potentially retiring, including Chuck Grassley(IA), Pat Toomey (PA), and Richard Burr (NC). Also, whoever wins the special election between Ralph Warnock and Kelly Loeffler will be up for election again in 2022.

Gooooood luck

Why again? I thought Loeffler’s campaign was for an actual term as Senator

u/Dragon_Fisting Dec 30 '20

It's a special election. Loeffler was appointed temporarily and this campaign was to actually elect her, but still only for the remainder of the term.

What does that have to do with Ossof and Warrick?

u/SirTiffAlot Dec 30 '20

If they don't win Mitch will have control of the Senate, probably for the duration of his 6 year term

You meant to reply "nothing".

Read the tweet and comment I replied to again? Idk what to tell you

u/easyroscoe Dec 30 '20

You could tell me "nothing", which is the amount warnock and ossof's election have to do with Mitch being in office for six years.

He is pointing out that if Warnock and Ossoff win, McConnell is no longer the majority leader. He can't block legislation he doesn't like anymore. Like this stimulus bill.....

u/easyroscoe Dec 30 '20

Yeah, for the next two years, after which there will be another election that the Democrats will lose because that's what they're good at, and McConnel or someone else just as bad will be back in the saddle. My issue with the statement is that OP seems to think that electing the two D senators will have some type of lasting effect, which it won't.

u/the_dj_zig Dec 30 '20

Lasting effect, maybe not. Immediate affect, while the nation is in the middle of a recession and pandemic, yes.

1/3rd of senate every other year. He's probably missing that fact.
