While some folks might think it may not matter if we Castro wins in Nevada, all that will do is get us to 50-50. If you want to ensure that Manchin is not calling all the shots again in the Senate, then you need to support Warnock's run-off. Also, in case things go south in Nevada, we will need Warnock to win.

Also, you can donate through Act Blue.

(23,236 posts)Sinema, however, can be kicked to the curb more easily.
We will still need one of them to support any pending legislation; Sinema seems to follow Manchins lead in obstruction, not the other way around. If Manchins Fossil Fuel priorities are satisfied, he is more likely to support tax hikes on the rich and negotiating drug prices, which Sinema opposes.
Neither of them will vote to kill the filibuster, and Manchin has been making rumblings about reforming SS and Medicare
so, even with 51, its still likely a rocky road ahead (and moot if we lose the house).
Biden should get all his judges approved though.

(17,837 posts)In other words, Manchin will always be weak on fossil fuels. In contrast, Sinema might be more inclined to vote for clean energy bills that promote residential solar given that her State bakes. For example, incentives for residential solar might be great for Arizona, but not WV. These are two very different states, so Sinema could be tempted to cut a deal for bills that really benefit Arizona over West Virginia.
