We still have a fairly long time till mid terms. If vaccine mandates is no longer an issue Im not convinced democrats are getting to get housed.

Mask and vaccine mandates are a dangerous thing to build your strategy around - they're unpopular while in effect but meaningfully reduce the number of cases and deaths caused by COVID. If the mandates are dropped and case numbers go up, Republicans can claim Biden (and therefore all Democrats) are mismanaging the pandemic and make a case that they can do better if elected. If the mandates remain in effect Republicans get to base their midterm strategy around opposing the mandates and win voters that way.

Honestly I don't see any way Dems hold on to the Senate. They might hold on to the House, but it'll be by a very slim margin if they do. And you can kiss goodbye just about every state legislature and governor's mansion that's in an even slightly purple state. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think I am.
