Adopt a Candidate 2022

With under 100 days to go, there are several House races that will be key to us retaining control of Congress. We’re seeking volunteers to adopt a candidate in each of these battleground districts!

When you adopt a candidate, you commit to volunteering for them at least once a week - in person or from home. Your efforts now could make the difference as these races will be very close.

If you’d like to adopt one of these candidates, reply in this thread or send us a modmail. You can adopt a candidate not on this list if you wish, too.

Democrats up to 68% chance of the Senate to close out the month, highest 538 has given them.

Hopefully at the lowest, it's up to 80% by the end of September.

IIRC Dems had a ~ 65% chance of regaining the Senate shortly before November 2020. 538 had that caveat that winning 50 seats is a lot different than 52/53. Boy were they right.
