         THE MAGIC NUMBER FOR DEMOCRATS IS 52



When it comes to gaining control of the US Senate the Democrats need 52 seats because they have no certainty Senator John Fetterman ("Captain Israel") from here in Pennsylvania won't jump ship to help the GOP.


Right now the Democrats move from 47 seats upwards winning North Carolina, Maine, Ohio and Texas as I see it.


That gets them to 51 then we will see how Alaska goes Mary Peltola the Democrat under intense GOP attack now.  But her polling remains good over incumbent Dan Sullivan not to be confused with the fake one the Democrats put up.


Then there's Kansas where Democrat Adam Hamilton leads Republican incumbent Roger Marshall in recent polling.


If it all holds up the Dems reach their magic number plus one to 53 US Senate seats.
