Don't worry, the Dems will always have their Joe Manchin types that vote with Republicans on everything.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I'm more concerned about how many neocon anti-Trumpers are left to ally with against the full throated fascism. "Centrists" are what they are but Manchin would still vote against open genocide against Americans.
But if you put that genocide behind a mask and say it’s good for the economy centrists will support it.
Like they support the health insurance industry.
It's actually the GOP that'll now get to enjoy defectors trying to push their own agenda. Politics is going to politics.
Like the chaos they’ve been sowing for the last four years? Aww, too bad.
They've been chaos for the last 8 years. Did news reporters suddenly wake up from a coma?
Lol. "Internal party divisions" is what we're calling "we can't win the presidency without running (and putting up with) an idiot racist misogynist sociopath", nowadays?
Not really... in the current House it's 220 R, 212 D, with 3 vacancies. 1 resignation (R) and 2 deaths (D).
In the new House it will be 220 to 215.
So pretty much the same as it is now.
The GOP majority is expected to shrink to 217–215 in early 2025 due to Gaetz’s resignation and Stefanik and Waltz’s anticipated departures for the Trump administration.
Whether that amounts to anything (technically it's 1 defection to vote with Dems), we'll see.
In Florida they hold special elections to replace congressmen, so expect Gaetz and Waltz to both be replaced by Republicans 4/1.
Not sure on Stefanik... each state is different...
Yeah, that's special election territory as well, in a super red district:
