Nancy Pelosi has lots of explanation to do. And she probably will be kicked out. Expecting lots of in-fighting inside dem party.
------------------------------------------------------- Despite the legion of celebrities and models urging their followers to 'get out and vote' by posting selfies with their 'I voted' stickers and/or (in one notorious campaign) posing nude for risque adverts (oh to have been a fly on the wall during that pitch meeting), all the 'vote now' merch in the world couldn't deliver the Senate Majority that Wall Street had pinned its hopes of a sweeping stimulus deal upon.
To be sure, the Dems managed to flip a couple of high-profile seats; but the majority of "threatened" Republican Senators (and remember, there were a lot of them) managed to fend off deep-pocketed Democratic rivals.
Here's a roundup of where things stand as of Wednesday morning in New York (courtesy of the NYT & Bloomberg):
Democratic Senate candidates were running slightly behind Biden in several states, making it difficult for the party to retake Senate control.
Republicans flipped one seat: Tommy Tuberville beat the Democrat Doug Jones in Alabama. Gary Peters, the Democratic incumbent in Michigan, is locked in a close race with his Republican challenger, John James; it will depend on the outstanding votes.
Democrats flipped two seats: John Hickenlooper defeated Gardner in Colorado, and Mark Kelly defeated McSally in Arizona.
In Iowa, Senator Joni Ernst, a Republican, won re-election. Republicans also won races in Montana, South Carolina — where Lindsey Graham held on to his seat — and Texas.
John Cornyn defeated Air Force combat veteran MJ Hegar. Republican Roger Marshall won the open Kansas Senate seat, defeating a well-funded Barbara Bollier in a race Democrats had hopes of winning if there was a wave election.
Georgia Republican Senator Kelly Loeffler, who was appointed by the governor, will face off against Democrat Raphael Warnock, senior pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, in the runoff. In the other Georgia contest, Republican incumbent David Perdue was leading Democratic challenger Jon Ossoff, who narrowly lost an Atlanta-area House special election in 2017.
Democratic Senator Mark Warner was easily re-elected to a third term in Virginia and Republican Shelley Moore Capito won a second term in West Virginia, according to Associated Press projections. Incumbent Democrats Edward Markey in Massachusetts, Jeanne Shaheen in New Hampshire, Jack Reed in Rhode Island, Chris Coons in Delaware and Dick Durbin in Illinois also won re-election.
Along With McConnell and Capito, Republican James Inhofe won re-election in Oklahoma. In Tennessee, Republican Bill Hagerty won the seat being vacated by Republican Senator Lamar Alexander, who is retiring. South Dakota Republican Mike Rounds and Nebraska Republican Ben Sasse also were re- elected. In Wyoming, Republican Cynthia Lummis won election to the seat now held by Mike Enzi, who is retiring.
Several other races remain too close to call, including in Maine, where Senator Susan Collins leads the Democratic nominee, Sara Gideon. In a special Senate election in Georgia, the incumbent Kelly Loeffler is headed to a January runoff against the Democrat Raphael Warnock.
As we await the final results, President Trump has a much stronger chance of winning a second term than any of the 'professionals' anticipated, and although Twitter and Facebook affixed labels to some of his spicier tweets last night (including one accusing Democrats of trying to "steal" the election), the chaos that many had feared has given way to an eerie silence.
"Also, I did not say it's impossible for Dems right now. It's just that virtually everything has to go right for them. And so far tonight, almost nothing has."

金主投了那么多钱的Blue Wave在哪里？
参议员拿不到majority, 众议院优势反而缩小。
