Torn between "Mary Peltola becomes an institution of the House" and "Mary Peltola succeeds Murkowski and ends up President by 2040"

Like, given how Alaskans went from "hope she lives up to Don Young's legacy" to "if only she was around for half the time Young was, we'd be so much better off" they clearly like her

But ... President Peltola would be so infathomably based

"And do you know what else won tonight? I'll tell you what else won tonight. Real freedom won tonight!

Real freedom! The kind of freedom that sees possibility in all God's children, which forces us to then step up for those kids and invest in their public school to give them a shot. Real freedom won!

The kind of real freedom that allows us to invest in a safer community so all God's children make it to their 18th birthday - real freedom won!"

[allthepresidentsmen]

Alaska: Josh Revak (R-inc.) def. Rep. Josiah Patkotak (I/D) [IRV runoff], State Rep. Kelly Tshibaka (R), others
Outcome: R Hold

Incumbent Josh Revak held off a strong challenge from independent Representative Josiah Patkotak by just under 300 votes in the final round of instant-runoff voting. The extremely narrow margin is attributed to abstaining right-wing voters who had selected 2022 Senate candidate Kelly Tshibaka as their first preference; however, Governor Liz Snyder and six-term Representative Mary Peltola were both re-elected by sizable margins, and Democrats won Patkotak's House seat. The Alaska Democrats would also remain the largest party in the state house and senate.

Arizona: Lt. Gov. Athena Salman (D) def. Rep. T. J. Shope (R)
Outcome: D Hold

Two-term incumbent Mark Kelly resigned in August 2033 to take up the post of NASA administrator in the Wayne administration; Governor Adrian Fontes appointed former Public Instruction Superintendent Kathy Hoffman to the Senate, who subsequently declined to run in the 2034 election. Lieutenant Governor Salman held a small but consistent lead over congressman Shope, a lead which was bolstered by the Hobbs machine in the Canyon State. On election day, Salman would prevail by a solid four-point margin.

California special: Frm. CA Education Superintendent Tony Thurmond (D) def. Rep. Ro Khanna (D)
Outcome: D Hold

The first Senate election in the Golden State since 2018 to result in a Democrat-on-Democrat matchup in November, the race to succeed Vice President Porter created some interesting political coalitions as centrist Democrats and Republicans rallied behind progressive congressman Khanna, while Wayne would rebuke the progressive option over energy policy disputes in favor of the more establishmentarian Tony Thurmond. In the end, despite the millions raised by grassroot supporters and DNC megadonors alike, Wayne's popularity was enough to secure California's Class 1 seat for Tony Thurmond, making him the second-ever African-American to represent the state in the Senate.

Douglass Commonwealth: Shadow Sen. Oye Owolewa (D) def. Mr. Patrick Hynes (L)
Outcome: D Gain (de jure)

Douglass Commonwealth special: Shadow Del. Janeese Lewis George (D) def. Mr. Michael Bekesha (R)
Outcome: D Gain (de jure)

The least surprising Senate "gains" in the midterms, the ex-District of Columbia's last shadow representatives would prevail by huge margins in the 51st state's dual Senate races. While some had hoped the D.C. Green Party would put up a fight, the party would disintegrate after the Statehood Party pulled out of their fusion, owing to Washington D.C. having achieved, well, statehood.

Georgia: Lt. Gov. Bee Nguyen (D) def. Chris Carr (R-inc.)
Outcome: D Gain

While Raphael Warnock's 200-vote-short runoff loss to Chris Carr is considered by some to be the most heartbreaking loss of the 2028 election, his subsequent landslide election to the governor's mansion was the first time Democrats had won the gubernatorial race in 28 years, and Wayne's 6-point win over Cotton in the Peach State made flipping Georgia priority number one for the DSCC. While Warnock turned down the opportunity for a rematch, lieutenant governor Bee Nguyen would rise to the occasion, sweeping the primaries before encountering a seasoned Carr campaign, flush with cash thanks to a desperate NRSC. Despite the race becoming the most expensive of the 2034 senate map, Georgia's blue shift was too much for Carr to overcome, with Nguyen ultimately beating the 50-percent-mark by just under 500 votes and becoming the first Georgia senator to avoid a runoff since Johnny Isakson 18 years prior.

Indiana: Frm. IN Attorney Gen. Todd Rokita (R) def. Todd Young (I-inc.), Frm. State Sen. J. D. Ford (D-Write-in)
Outcome: R Hold (de jure)

Todd Young's centrism was long an object of the INGOP's ire, and ultimately his vote to support Wayne's urban agriculture plan was a step too far for the state's Chamber of Commerce. While Todd Rokita would take a wide lead in the state's senate primary thanks to agricorp cash, Young would make one last stand by withdrawing from the senate primary and announcing his plan to contest the state as an independent. Winning the Indiana Democrats' endorsement, the two Todds entered a shockingly competitive Senate race. Ultimately, Young would fail to succeed where McMullin and Sinema had fell short, and Rokita prevailed by just over 1,300 votes. Some have laid the blame at write-in Democrat J. D. Ford's feet.

Nevada: Frm. NV Sec. of State Cisco Aguilar (D) def. Rep. Greg Hafen II (R)
Outcome: D Gain

After suffering a heart attack in October 2033, incumbent Joe Lombardo would announce his retirement. Cisco Aguilar - first rising to prominence by holding off election-denier Jim Marchant's bid to run Nevada's elections - would prevail over rising-star Greg Hafen II by a slender margin, ensuring that Republican fortunes in Nevada would be once again cut short.

New Hampshire: Chris Sununu (R-inc.) def. Rep. Rebecca Kwoka (D)
Outcome: R Hold

Sununu's extreme popularity made this race a pre-determined outcome to some; despite this, congresswoman Kwoka would cut Sununu's margin of victory to just under 3%, leading some in the DSCC to lament their decision to ignore the race.

North Carolina: Ted Budd (R-inc.) def. Rep. Chaz Beasley (D)
Outcome: R Hold

NRSC Chairman Ted Budd had become a high-profile target for the DNC after Wiley Nickel's seven-point win in 2032, and Senate Democrats poured tens of millions into Chaz Beasley's campaign. Despite this, Budd's tactically-moderated rhetoric and NRSC "big bucks" would save the two-term conservative's seat by just over 1.1%.

Ohio: J. D. Vance (R-inc.) def. Rep. Nick Rubando (D)
Outcome: R Hold

The 2034 Ohio senate contest would come to eerily resemble the 2022 contest, as populist Nick Rubando would wage an effective grassroots campaign against Vance. Despite attracting tens of millions from the DSCC and NRSC alike, Vance would prevail by a 4-point margin. However - like 2022 - Democrats would carry every single swing district in Ohio thanks to Rubando's frenetic campaign.

Pennsylvania: John Fetterman (D-inc.) def. Frm. State Sen. Aaron Kaufer (R)
Outcome: D Hold

While Republicans had dreamed of deposing progressive titan John Fetterman in 2028 and 2034 alike, Scott Perry's incompetence and the subsequent rinsing the PAGOP underwent in the 2030 blue tsunami had thinned their bench. Ultimately, former state senator Aaron Kaufer would take the Republican nomination over now-perennial candidate Sean Parnell and former gubernatorial nominee Jason Ortitay. Fetterman would - as widely expected - prevail by a decisive six-point margin.

Wisconsin: Mike Gallagher (R-inc.) def. Frm. Lt. Gov. Sara Rodriguez (D)
Outcome: R Hold

Incumbent Mike Gallagher came under heavy fire from the Democratic Party, with the DNC eager to unseat yet another rising star. Despite this, Rodriguez would make several gaffes on the campaign trail, costing her key momentum. Gallagher would crisscross the state to rally suburban support, ultimately emerging bruised but victorious by 15,000 votes.

Prior Senate balance: 55 Democratic, 45 Republican

New Senate balance: 59 Democratic, 43 Republican

Ultimately, the Republican Party's state of disarray would hinder their efforts to capitalize on the still-struggling economy, and the number of Republican-held swing seats allowed a well-run Democratic campaign machine to extend their Senate lead.

Very progressive of Wayne, also Republicans voting for progressive Democrats is something that never happens. They always prefer more moderate Dems.

hmm a list of governors in your au's?

 

[allthepresidentsmen]

Very progressive of Wayne, also Republicans voting for progressive Democrats is something that never happens. They always prefer more moderate Dems.

Fair point, though I'm not sure how progressive Thurmond is.

I was taking inspiration from IRL, where a bill that would've cut carbon emissions (albeit yadda yadda yadda) was shot down by congressional progressives. Wayne flips his shit, and when Khanna runs for Senate Wayne piles his political assets behind Thurmond.
