It's a midterm with a Democrat in the White House, so Republicans will probably win everything as usual.

I'm curious as to which Republicans will be looking at this race. Will Doug Collins go for this instead of primarying Kemp? Is there a rural State Senator who wants to take a shot? Does Karen Handel need something to do? I would have told you a midterm with a Democrat as President would mean lower turnout, but I would have also told you Democrats don't win runoffs in Georgia. In addition, Stacey Abrams on the ticket should motivate Democrats. It's a real crapshoot.

It's a midterm with a Democrat in the White House, so Republicans will probably win everything as usual. With (high propensity) suburban voters realigning toward Democrats, that rule might be as reliable as "Democrats always do poorly in Georgia runoff elections." If Stacey Abrams runs for governor, there will be big African-American turnout as well.

What is the Republican Party going to even look like in two years? I'm not convinced that there won't be some sort of split between mainstream Republicans and Trumpists. Anyone who thinks 2022 mid-terms will be status quo, needs to rethink that.

IDK, we have to wait and see what happens next. What does the Biden administration and particularly Warnock prioritize. If they move forth with the 2K a month he'll probably be fine

It all depends on recruitment.

Lame senate portrait :/

Did you want a bald eagle flying in the background?

Needs more flags.

My favorites are the obscure ones lol

Do you have an example or two?

I would distinguish between photos and portraits. I thought you were going to offer up a "chilling by a column" type of photo a la Gillibrand or Lankford. Interesting Stevens portrait. Includes some Native Alaskan art, plus it has the "I'm so busy, I can't just sit for a portrait for an hour" vibe.

The background in this photo of Danish Politician Nikita Klaestrup really helps her official portrait stand-out. I think more politicians should do photos like this. https://www.wonderslist.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/Nikita-Kl%C3%A6strup.jpg

The Swiss Federal Council has a yearly photo shoot of all the members, and the photos get quite stylish: https://www.admin.ch/gov/en/start/federal-council/photographs-and-speeches-of-the-federal-council/official-federal-council-photographs.html

Is this just Switzerland?
