I doubt it just off the map but I don't think it'll be as big a bloodbath as people seem to automatically assume. No matter how much many seem to have a desire and hope Republicans "moderate" or come to the middle, the truth is Republicans are doing a very poor job of making themselves electorable to the median public (i.e. going overboard on social conservative stances that no one but their fringe, very religious base wants) and it'll catch up to them fully at some point.
I think Republicans will likely win control of the Senate, but it'll be 51-49 or at most 52-48 margin. Like they'll for sure win West Virginia and likely at least one of Ohio and Montana, but I would not rule out Brown and/or Tester holding on. Both are incredibly strong incumbents in red states, and Biden outperforming typical trends in Ohio to only lose by 6 or so would be enough for Brown to hold on. Ditto for Tester with differing margins. 
Pennsylvania (Casey), Wisconsin (Baldwin), Michigan (Stabenow but she is retiring though Dems have a strong bench there), Minnesota (Klobuchar), Virginia (Kaine) I can't see Republicans winning. Arizona (Sinema but Gallego will challenge for Democrats) Republicans can flip in a perfect world, but people don't realize how bat-shit the Arizona Republicans have become and how many right-leaning moderates have turned Democrats there. They are more likely to nominate a unpalatable candidate like a Kari Lake over a Doug Ducey, and if they do that, they'll lose. 
Meanwhile, I think we're looking ripe for Democrats to win control of the House again and take a bigger majority than what they had post-2020. Nothing the Republicans in the House are doing, from their sham of a leadership election to openly trashing moderating on social stances like on abortion will help them in House races come 2024. They've also gerrymandered themselves to the fullest.
If the GOP tries to touch social security they will certainly keep it. They may still if the GOP primaries play out the way they have. >

Don’t forget if the GOP keeps trying to ban abortion and it was literally the first thing they did as soon as Kevin became speaker >

This would be a big issue in a midterm but not a presidential election year. >

Why? Total abortion bans or 6-week abortion bans that no one wants aren’t going away anytime soon barring courts striking those laws down. Why would they die down as an issue? >

It's kinda sad but it'll mostly be in the rearview mirror by 24, and most people will subconsciously accept it as the new status quo. Not to say it won't hurt Republican odds, but it likely won't be nearly as big a factor as it was with the 2022 midterms. >

People are going to church every sunday and hearing about abortion stops a beating heart or whatever but if you're on the left it's entirely on you to self motivate and stay mad about this shit forever.
It's no wonder they do pretty well despite being on the less popular side of so many issues. >

the good thing is less and less people are going to church. Exactly because of this crap. >

Virginia is pretty happy with Kaine. He’s visible around the state and is overall an easy candidate. I don’t see him being at risk. Northern Virginia would have to see a lot of erosion to oust him. Youngkin has done nothing to appeal to moderates. If Spanberger had lost her seat, I’d be more concerned, but a lot of her purple areas will go for Kaine as well. McAuliffe was a uniquely terrible candidate and we all knew it. >

I think Kaine will easily win. VA is a blue state in federal elections . State elections don’t correspond to federal elections. Youngkin’s win was probably due to a Biden backlash. >

I think it was a lot more due to nobody wanting McAuliffe back plus he ran the most half ass campaign imaginable. He just assumed he’d get the votes. Meanwhile, Youngkin was making the rounds pretending to be a moderate. >

and Youngkin would never win in Virginia statewide in a post-Dobbs/Roe overturn environment. His win was just great timing. >

Too early to tell really. Everyone thought the Republicans would have a red wave last year but they nearly came close to having a red flop. All I know is that it’s gonna be a tough battle for Democrats, especially if Republicans run better candidates than they did in the most recent elections. >

That's basically asking the Republicans to not be who they are
