By the way I read somewhere that Senator Lee of Utah is on the list for a Cabinet appoitment by Trump. The other potential appointment as Secretary of State is the ex-mbassadir of the SUA. in Germany causing a statement by Trump that Merkel danced with joy when he was replaced becuse Trump needed him badly in the USA.

McConnell should have delayed meetin g and allow the newly elected Senators to be present and vote in the eelection. The Democrats knowing their days re numbered will try and ge through as may appointments as possible, and in that they would have he ehlp of Grham, Rmney and McConnell. McConnell knows that there is no way he would et to be candidate in the 2026 mid-term election in Kentucky in 2026 nd the same will happen to that wisted system where there are four candidate in eery race at counts and hen he elading candidate get less than 50% of he vote. The second choice candidate of he 4th candidate will be added to the voting totals of the top 2 candidates. I here are still no winners he second choice of the hrird candidate are added to the vots of he first two candidates,
In the Senate elections that led to the present Senator be re-elected because the system benefit her. In 2022 the Democrats won the election with te help of some Republica voters. It really turns eelcin ino a mess and nbody knows what will happen/ So lets lok at the situation at present in Alaska:-
Begich - RP 125 195 votes 49.5%
Peltola - DP 114 918 votes 45,4%
Howe - AIP # 9 855 votes 3,9%
Hafner - DP 2 483 votes 1,0%
Write-ins - 560 votes,
* The AIP is a fringe group knowna s the Alaska Independence Party
At present 70% of the votes ahve bbeen counted - but lets tke he abov as an example/
Move One
The second chouce candidates of Hafner and the wrie-ins will be counted and added to the votes of Begich and Peltola, Since Hafner is a Democrat and it is not certai tht write ins will hav second choinces lets add 2 350 votes to the voes gotten by Peltola she will have 117 268 votes - still 7 927 needed win/
Move Two
So the wuestion would be who would be the second choice of the 9 855 AIP voters? If all AIP secnd choice votes gpes to Peltola she can win the seat she ehld since 2020/
The system was introduced in 2020 to help Murkowski to reain he rSenate seat. However, it has problem of bribery of mminority voters to support a fringe cndixdate and thransfer hei votes o the DP candidae, Tie year their is a referendum on the issue as well and it is likely it will be abolished by the voters,, I seems tha Murwski is campaigning to retain he system but at oresent the voers favouring its abolition is winning,
So who will win he House seat in Alaska - nobody knows at present. Using the system in 2020 Murkowwski wih the ehlp of he Demcorats won the Senate election by 2 015 votes and like in 2022 the DP is trying to buy the election of their Hose candidate again.

According to the latest map there are only 12 seats to be declared and not 14 - so NBC on the schedule indicated that the Democrats has 206 seats and the Pebublicans 215 - which is an NBC Lie, With 12 seats to be declared the RP already has 217 seats and a majority in the House,
Of the 12 seats he situation is as follows:-\
* Iowa 1 - thee was no change in fures since 8 vember 2024 and hat means the RP with a small majotrty won the seat.
* Maine 2 - DP in the lead - but could go eithre way.
* Arizona 6 - the irst count idicated the DP with a 200 vote lead. Since then every day the RP candidate increaed his lead and the lead is now 4 950 votes, Should be called for the RP by Thrusday if some fraud is not intervening
* Alaska - see my comments above.
* Oregon 5 The DP should win the seat/
* California - 7 seats ousabding, In four of he 7 seat the RP candidates are in the lead is in he lead - but that depends on what is happening with vote harvsting over he enxt 4 days,
Based mn present results and barring fraud - the seat allocayion in the house will likely be as follows:-
* Republicans .- 224 seats
* Cemocrats - 211 seats
One thing we must remember - you are dealing with the Democrats and the above depnd on whether they can steal the seats through fraud,
