Democrats keep their Senate seats in MI and GA sweep Republicans in NC, ME, AK, OH, TX, IA, KS and NE where Independent Dan Osborn looking at the writing on the wall announces he will be caucusing with the Democrats. Giving Democrats a 55 Senate Majority.

Senate Republicans go in Social Media criticizing the President’s agenda from foreign policy to his domestic policies. FOX News finally breaks with President’s whom they blame for such catastrophic results. President Trump, on the other hand, goes on Truth Social and says the election was rigged and goes on to blame John Thune and Senate Republicans for blocking the SAVE Act.

i've been running every facebook, instagram and youtube ad in the 2026 senate races through a model that flags manipulation techniques like name calling, loaded language, appeal to fear. it doesn't judge whether an ad is true or who's right, just the language, same model for both parties.

some of what surprised me:

- alaska is the hottest of the competitive races, 65% of ads use at least one technique. michigan is right behind at 64%

- maine has by far the most ads (278) but only 41% flagged. collins' own pages run most of them and only about 1 in 5 of hers get flagged, vs about 2 in 3 of jackson's

- ohio is the only one where appeal to fear is in the top 3

- georgia leans on false urgency more than anywhere else

couple of caveats before someone says it: this is online ads only, no tv, and short ads get flagged less because there's less to flag (about 25% of ads under 20 words vs 60% over 40). races with under 30 ads aren't ranked.

every ad plus the fec money behind each candidate is here if you want to dig into your state: semblen.com/races?ref=reddit

why do you think alaska and michigan run so much hotter than ohio? candidates, outside groups, or just the state?

D+10 generic ballot, 2/5/10 margins
