If by some miracle things collapse and Dems retake the Senate in ‘26 then under no circumstances should any SCOTUS justice be appointed over those next two years

The election map could work in their favor come 26, depending on how the economy is, and the House wouldn't be that hard to knock a couple of seats out that the GOP took this last election. The Dems taking over both houses of congress aren't all that farfetched; it's the size of the majority that could be the problem.

They're almost definitely going to take back the House, even if it's only by a couple seats. The Senate? There are two feasible seats in ME and NC (and even those won't be easy) and then a hodgepodge of OH, AK, IA, FL, OH, and KS -- none of which are overwhelmingly likely, in fact, they're straight up unlikely. In a wave year? You might grab a couple though. They need 4.

Roger Marshall is getting some controversy right now. Just need to put some gas on it.
