The announcement comes the same day a White House official told NBC News that President Donald Trump would be attending the game.

2026 could be a great year for the Dems in the Senate. The Republicans currently hold 22 of the 33 seats up for election. Depending on how much Trump fucks the economy, it's mathematically possible for the Dems to hold 67 Senate seats in 2027.

That's enough to simultaneously impeach and remove Trump and Vance and elevate a Democratic Speaker of the House to the Presidency.

The odds of it happening are almost zero. They won't win all 33 elections - but they could conceivably get to 60 seats - enough to block GOP fillibusters. They managed it in 2008, and that's the same Senate cycle up for election in 2026.

Assuming fair elections even happen. I'm guessing the FEC is on the list to get DOGEd, at which point all bets are off.
