I've been watching closely.
House, yes, probably gone.
Senate is possible but mathematically much harder. There are like six vulnerable seats (three on each sides), and the dems have to win all of those, plus one more to break the tie.

If the dems get both houses and impeach DJT they're going to create unintended consequences....
2028 would be a brave new world, with no DJT.
1) Lots of political drama and no congressional function. Even worse than now, which will turn off swing voters and mobilize the GOP base (especially with an impeached DJT as a martyr).
2) If they succeed, Vance will be running as an *incumbent* in 2028, and will have time to at least pivot away from foreign wars and towards the economy. That's actually not who the knowledgeable dems actually want to run against in 2028, especially if a Kamala or AOC type figure hijacks their nomination. They'd much prefer DJT be in office and go off on a tangent and endorse Baron or somebody else out of left field before the GOP primary.
Interesting times.
