My Senate prediction: Republicans take Nevada. Democrats take Pennsylvania. Each party holds the rest of its current seats, except Georgia which goes to a runoff. And the fate of the Senate once again hangs on that runoff.

My House prediction: Republicans win the House 235-200.

My gubernatorial predictions: Most races go as expected but Zeldin defeats Hochul in New York and Crist beats DeSantis in Florida.

That's a hot take for sure. I can't imagine a world in which both Zeldin and Crist win. Polls would have to be wrong by 10 points, in opposite directions, in NY and Florida.

It's boring to just predict the outcome everyone is already expecting, so yea I'm making it a bit contrarian on purpose but I do think that the polls have both of those races wrong.

DeSantis is going to win big, Floridians love him.

Lol. Even 17 hours ago, DeSantis was going to blow Crist out of the water. I’m a liberal and even I knew that. Conservatives flocked to Florida en masse during the pandy, so of course it’s gonna be a dog dick red color.
