Republicans on the verge of a filibuster proof majority?
...
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.) just became the latest Democrat to abandon ship ahead of what's shaping up to be a brutal 2026 election cycle for them. And, surprise, surprise — she's blaming Trump for her decision to call it quits.
"It was a difficult decision, made more difficult by the current environment in the country — by President Trump and what he's doing right now," Shaheen whined, perfectly encapsulating the left's perpetual Trump Derangement Syndrome.

Shaheen's retirement creates yet another headache for Chuck Schumer and his increasingly desperate Democrats. They're already dealing with the retirement announcements of Sens. Gary Peters (D-Mich.) and Tina Smith (D-Minn.). At this rate, Schumer might need anxiety medication to make it through 2026.
...
Let's be honest — these Democrats aren't retiring because they're ready for shuffleboard and early bird specials. They see the writing on the wall. Even Peters admitted that he "never saw service in Congress as something you do your whole life." Translation: It's better to jump than be pushed.
The writing's on the wall, folks. These Democratic retirements aren't just routine turnover; they're a mass exodus ahead of what promises to be a conservative tsunami in 2026
Adding to Democrats' anxiety, heavyweight Republican contenders are already circling Shaheen's soon-to-be-vacant seat. Former Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown has confirmed his interest, and former NH Gov. Chris Sununu hasn't "ruled it out completely."
Other top pickup opportunities besides Georgia, Michigan, and Minnesota include Virginia, which, while traditionally challenging for Republicans, could be in play if popular GOP figures like Glenn Youngkin jump in the race.
...
Democrats' problem is their politics more so than their candidates. The party has lost touch with the majority of voters in the US. They seem incapable of producing a message that voters want to hear. Politics can be an expensive undertaking and it is even more so when the party is out of alignment with a majority of voters.
