Less than 100 days into Donald Trump’s presidency, Democrats are already expressing confidence that they will have big wins in the 2026 midterms. But if Democrats are going to retake the Senate, they need to flip four seats — and there are two states that Democrats considered competitive last year that already look like uphill climbs: Florida and Texas. Last year’s Senate map was a lousy one for Democrats.

After months of delays, the Senate is finally on track to adopt its latest budget resolution. Senators are set to begin voting on amendments to the budget, which will serve as the blueprint for reconciliation, later Friday night into Saturday morning, as long as Republicans decline to use much — if any — of their allotted debate time.

Friday Senate session incoming Schumer objects to a UC request from Wicker to speed up confirmation on Caine for joint chief of staff Wicker in his UC request suggested it won't be so bad to stay in session/that Republicans might move on some CRAs in the interim

Lots of members eager to get out of town + multiple codels planned for the break. But also lots of Senate Dems increasing their frequency of holds on Trump nominees
Sen. Wicker is expected to ask for consent to move up the Dan Caine Joint Chiefs of Staff vote to later today, per sources. No final decision but Democrats may object. Possible Friday session to finish that nomination
