We just took Iowa and projected to win NC. We now have the majority in the US Senate! More results to come in, and other races we could pick up, but 52 Senate seats is a guarantee. Awesome.
FYI, marijuana was legalized in DC tonight. Party on Garth.

Congratulations to Rep-Elect Comstock on a fantastic win!
I smell another apology that won’t be coming from you.
Apologize for what? Corry’s record was 0-8 prior to this win. I congratulate him on pulling one out.
Tell Barbara thanks for the 10% budget increase she voted for in this year’s GA. And thanks for increasing Virginia’s budget from about $75 Billion to $96 Billion.
Also, would you ask her if she plans to caucus with the Liberal Democrats or Liberal Republicans?
how botcha Congressman Robert Hurt!
