Everything said about United States Senate, oldest first

Mar 5, 2022 positive
Prediction Not checkable as stated
Sacks: Bill repealing fracking restrictions would pass US Senate 75-25
“I think that if there was a bill introduced, I think it's being talked about to repeal all the restrictions. On fracking, it would pass the Senate, 75, 25, meaning all the Republicans would vote for it, and half the Democrats would vote for it.”

Sep 8, 2023 negative
Insight
Christie: The US Senate is a bad training ground for the presidency
“Your staff really runs everything. At least with many of the senators and that's why it's such a bad training ground for the presidency in my view.”
Chris Christie Sep 8, 2023 ▶ 23:14 In conversation with Chris Christie
Sep 10, 2024 neutral
Disclosure
Vance: Introduced Senate legislation to tax remittances sent abroad
“I've got a piece of legislation in the United States Senate that we've got a lot of colleagues who have signed up for it, which would tax remittances, right?”
JD Vance Sep 10, 2024 ▶ 34:04 JD Vance | All-In Summit 2024
Sep 24, 2024 negative
Opinion
Sinema: Eliminating the filibuster would dangerously destabilize the Senate
“I think it's very dangerous to eliminate the filibuster. The filibuster is like a control mechanism that keeps the Senate from ricocheting back and forth between the wild edges of the political pressure from either party.”
Kyrsten Sinema Sep 24, 2024 ▶ 7:17 Senator Kyrsten Sinema | All-In Summit 2024
Sep 24, 2024
Assertion Contradicted
Sinema mistakenly claims the founding Senate required 100 votes for legislation
“When the Senate was founded, it took a hundred senators to move forward on a piece of legislation, right? A hundred. And it's eroded down to 60.”
Kyrsten Sinema Sep 24, 2024 ▶ 7:37 Senator Kyrsten Sinema | All-In Summit 2024
Jul 19, 2025 positive
Assertion Supported
Hagerty: Senate passed a $9B+ spending rescissions package
“What, what's happening right now in the United States Senate, we just put through a rescissions package for a little bit over nine billion dollars.”
Senator Bill Hagerty Jul 19, 2025 ▶ 1:12:13 Trump vs Powell, Solving the Debt Crisis, The $10T AGI Prize, GENIUS Act Becomes Law
Aug 21, 2026 bullish
Prediction Open · timeframe Nov 2026
Sacks Predicts Republicans Will Keep the Senate in 2026 Midterms
“I do think that the Democrats, I think it is legitimate to say that they are favored to win the house. I think the Senate right now is a toss up and I would say that the Republicans will ultimately keep it if I had to predict right now.”
