The Race To Control The Senate
The Republicans have a very good chance of winning control of the United States Senate despite their very best efforts to lose it. Last month at The Gathering, Mitch McConnell told me on stage that this is the most favorable map he has ever seen. He’s exactly right.
Republicans control 49 seats and are not meaningfully at risk of losing any incumbents this cycle. This means that Democrats are forced to defend incumbents in the seven most vulnerable seats. By flipping West Virginia with the retirement of Manchin, the worst case scenario is a 50-50 tied Senate with control belonging to whichever party is in the White House.
But Democrats are convinced that Rick Scott in Florida and Ted Cruz in Texas are viable pick-up seats for them. As a result of learning nothing from 2018, they are redirecting resources to pursue races they have no chance of winning.
Here’s a full breakdown of what’s happening in the race to control the US Senate.
Get today’s full show here:
The standard GOP handwringing over quality of candidates to win these legislative seats is anathema to the actual rules of the game as made apparent by the Democrats putting up crap candidates that compete. 100% of the game strategy should be to saturate social media targeting young voters as to the Democrat connection to Wall Street, big corporations, inflation, high interest rates, crime, etc.... and how the Republicans are focused on improving the economic lives for young people. Along with that is the need for 100% support of all GOP candidates by the entire Republican political machine including all media people that side with the moral right.
Democrats think that Nebraska is in play now with independent candidate Dan Osborn with a 2%-4% lead in several polls over Republican Incumbent Deb Fischer. Democrats are contributing $$$ for multiple ad buys in the state to help Mr. Osborn with his campaign. I am not so sure Republicans can retake the senate much less hold onto the majority in the House of Representatives. The democrats under Chuck Schumer's leadership are ready for 13 Supreme Court Justices and the District of Columbia to become a state. DJT and the Republicans need to remind voters of the democratic parties intent to pack the court with 4 new liberal justices should Vice President Hartis win the election
