WASHINGTON — For Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, yesterday created uplifting news and awful news for him.
We'll begin with the uplifting news: Establishment-supported Roger Marshall the previous evening crushed Kris Kobach in Kansas' Senate GOP essential — after Democrats spent more than $4 million to prop up Kobach's application.
What's more, Marshall's success gives Republicans a greatly improved possibility of clutching Kansas' Senate seat. (All things considered, we perceived how Kobach on the ticket fared for the GOP in 2018.)
So the Senate table is for the most part set for 2020, and here is the place the guide remains on our debut Senate Takeover List for 2020, in view of the probability of the Senate seat exchanging parties, as indicated by surveying and our discussions with Democratic and Republican planners. (The gathering recorded in enclosure is the occupant party.)
(1)Alabama (D)
(2)Colorado (R)
(3)Arizona (R)
(4)North Carolina (R)
(5)Maine (R)
(6)Montana (R)
(7)Iowa (R)
(8)Georgia (R – Perdue seat)
(9)Texas (R)
(10)Georgia (R – Loeffler seat)
(11)Michigan (D)
(12)Kansas (R)
(13)South Carolina (R)
(14)The Frozen North (R)
(15)Kentucky (R)
(16)New Mexico (D)
The initial five races on our rundown — from Alabama to Maine — are lean or likely flips. What's more, on the off chance that they every single flip, Democrat will net the three Senate seats they have to win back the chamber in the event that they additionally win the White House.
So notwithstanding Marshall's success the previous evening, McConnell is as yet gazing a Senate map that inclines Dem takeover.
Races No. 6 to No. 8 — Montana, Iowa and Sen. David Perdue's Senate seat — are unadulterated shots in the dark. What's more, if Democrats win them, they would add to any Senate dominant part.
Races No. 9 and No. 10 — Texas and Georgia's other Senate seat — lean toward the officeholder party clutching the Senate.
What's more, races No. 11 to No. 16 are likely or incredibly likely that the occupant party clutches the seat.
The races not recorded are those we don't see as serious — at any rate not yet.
