    The Spin

    Republican narrative

    A red wave this fall is very likely, which is why Democrats are terrified of moderate Republicans running against their incumbents. They're so scared, in fact, that they are funding GOP candidates they believe would be easier to beat in the fall midterms. The Democrats are on the ropes right now, and they know it.

    Democratic narrative

    Despite what the "professional" pollsters say, the Democrats could absolutely win back a Senate majority and even pick up more House seats in November. With Roe v. Wade overturned and the GOP as arrogant as ever, Democrats will likely turn out in droves, and turnout is what wins elections.
