Dan Bongino predicts 'good chance' GOP loses Senate, House — or both

Dan Bongino, President Donald Trump's former deputy director of the FBI, admitted there was a "good chance" that Republicans would lose both the House and the Senate in the midterm elections.

The former government official made the prediction during his Thursday podcast.

"Folks, I listen, again, I don't want to pile on here, but when something's wrong, it's our obligation to talk about it on the show and call it out," he said just days after Trump's State of the Union address. "The midterms are coming up, and sadly, there's a good chance we may not do well. I'm not a doomer. I hope we do well, but we have to be open to the obvious that we could lose the Senate or the House or both."

Bongino said he hoped Republicans didn't lose the midterms despite his prediction.

"I hope we're okay. Going to fight like hell," he remarked. "But we could lose. If we don't have the majority and the Senate, it goes majority Democrat after the midterms; it doesn't matter. We're not going to get anything passed anyway. We only have this chance now."

Is Hyperliquid the new frontier for innovation?

The post Is Hyperliquid the new frontier for innovation? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. This is a segment from the 0xResearch newsletter. To read full editions, subscribe. One of the key things I like to track in crypto is a subjective criterion I call “where are new interesting developments and proposals taking place.” There are plenty of dashboards and analytics sites for this, the most popular being the Electric Capital site. The issue is that it still shows Polkadot as having a lot of developers. (At Blockworks we solved the noise problem with active users; maybe we can try the same for active developers.) Because of this noise, I prefer to track two simple observations: What is the velocity of new products launching, and how much mindshare are these products capturing? Are many people getting nerdsniped into discussing the novelties and intricacies of the chain? A related point is the caliber of people being attracted to new ecosystems. For example, over the past few years, Solana (and Ethereum) attracted the majority of talent. Talent generally goes where: It can solve interesting problems or create interesting projects. It can make a lot of money. In a podcast I did with Icebergy about a year ago, we discussed how crypto still wasn’t attracting talent at the levels AI was, despite offering faster exits and more money. AI was (and probably still is) more interesting to most talent and seen as more prestigious. After FTX, crypto lost a lot of credibility and has only recently started recovering as larger institutional players re-entered. Apart from FTX, crypto has also been criticized for being full of low-effort forks and limited utility products. This dynamic isn’t unique to crypto though. Many AI companies are also just building wrappers around GPT, which is as uninteresting as some projects in crypto. Anyway, to the point: Historically, Solana has captured the majority of…
