So Joni Ernst becomes the second incumbent Republican Senator to announce she is not running for reelection

I expect to see others!

I think we have a chance at taking back the Senate!

Not sure how the Senate will survive after losing these two intellectual giants. Tubs will probably win the governorship in Alabama, though. He will certainly be closer to his residence on the beach in the Florida panhandle. He claims that he lives in Alabama based on a duplex he owns in Auburn. Believe his son lives there.

If the GOP wins in 2026 you can turn out the lights and America deserves whatever it gets.
