You need 67 votes to convict in the Senate. Dems currently have 47 seats. This mean they would need to win 20 senate races, while holding on to the seats they have.

Which 20 seats do you see the Dems picking up?

relieved of duties because we can see his face. How many have acted similar and nothing was done because they hide their faces?

She doesn't. This is the New Middle bs that cozies up to corporations to get access to the money they have. She is going to run again and needs corporate cash to do it. The Dems are infested with this mindset.
