Hope and despair – voters react

We asked voters who are watching the results to share their reactions. Some are hopeful, while others are preparing for what they believe is the worst possible outcome. I’m feeling pretty good about Republicans winning the House. It looks like they’re doing good – I’m happy to see. It’ll be great to win the House and we’ll have to see about the Senate. Some Democrats are doing better than I thought they would – like in Pennsylvania and Georgia. I was expecting for there to be bigger leads. It’s a horse race, someone can win by a sliver at the end.

I think the Republicans can pick up the Senate, too, though. It would be a boost to win both chambers. This election is about President Joe Biden and about the Democrats’ beliefs and policies that a lot of us feel are wrong. If Republicans do win the House and Senate that’ll be the synergy and momentum needed for 2024.
I voted for Raphael Warnock. I just felt that it was the better decision. I’m really hoping that the Democrats can maintain a majority or at least an even split. I felt Warnock was more trustworthy. Trump’s endorsement of (Republican candidate Herschel) Walker really turned me off. I’m aligning more with the Democratic platform. I don’t agree with Democrats on everything but I feel it’s significantly more stable than the Republican platform. It’s coming down tight here in the Georgia race. I’m a little stressed out about it. Earlier Warnock had a good lead and I felt relieved, but now it’s tied back up. It’s like a sinking feel in your stomach.
