2024 U.S. Presidential Election Thread: Donald Trump wins & will return to the White House; GOP wins U.S. Senate & U.S. House

[Spidey Man]

Dems had the house and senate Under Biden. Not only did they not become states, Biden stepped on DC autonomy when he shut down the nee DC criminal code. Basically, don’t hold your breath.

I must have missed when Dems had a filibuster proof majority in the Senate. It's going to take at least 70 votes in the Senate to get the ball moving on statehood.

i'm getting old, but they use to teach in school that statehood required a simple majority in congress and the president signing it.

Yes and no. It takes a majority to pass, but it could still be blocked by the filibuster.

51 votes isn't the problem
it's the 60 votes to invoke cloture that are impossible

Republicans would filibuster off GP.

I work out in eastern Long Island. Wild to see numerous "Republicans for Harris" signs posted everywhere.

Suffolk county? That’s crazy

I’m from Queens but not far from Nassau but I don’t go out to Suffolk much at all but I went a few years ago and it felt like I was down south. Pick up trucks and Trump flags everywhere

Whenever I go out to Suffolk I feel like I'm in the boonies

Oof...

100 percent. You feel like you’re in a different state or far upstate NY

You don’t feel like you’re in the NYC metro area at all. Everything is so far apart

Nassau still feels like the NYC area even the more suburban areas. You have areas like Elmont that look just like most Queens neighborhoods. Which makes sense because you’re right by Queens

[Piff Huxtable]

Stop

It was a razor thin margin in the Senate with two a$$holes in Krysten Sinema and that swine Joe Manchin who torpedoed BBB

Stop
