With the Senate majority up for grabs in the Nov. 3
election, there are 12 crucial races that will decide
which party controls the chamber next year.

Currently, Republicans have 53 Senate seats and
Democrats have 47, if the two independents that
caucus with Democrats are included.
...
Here are the seats that could flip from Democrat
to Republican:
(Michigan, Alabama, Minnesota)

Here are the seats that might flip from Republican
to Democrat:
(Colorado, Arizona, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Maine, Iowa, Georgia 1, Georgia 2, Montana).
...

The details are in the article. It's a fairly
concise review or roundup. Time will tell
how accurate any of it is.

[thinden]

could be +3 & -3 so the senate could remain the same??

[Meatspace]

“Here are the seats that might flip from Republican
to Democrat:
(Colorado, Arizona, North Carolina, South Carolina,
Maine, Iowa, Georgia 1, Georgia 2, Montana).”

There is no evidence any of those seats will flip to Democrats. People need to stop looking at fake polls that show Democrats leading.

I think we lose Colorado and Maine, but pickup Alabama and Michigan. So it’s a wash.

Does anyone know why the election is always held on a Tuesday? Out of curiosity i looked at the 1860 election of Lincoln. It was November 6th 1860 on a Tuesday. Very bizarre as I would assume a Saturday would be more convenient for people.

[qam1]

We definitely need to hold the senate, 2022 is even crappier year for Republicans in the Senate.

If we don’t gain now, we will likely lose the Senate in 2022 and if we lose now we will not get it back until at least 2030 if ever.

If Arizona is going to flip Marxist I see no indication around my neighborhood.

[AloneInMass]

I held my nose and voted for Susan Collins yesterday. I have done all I can.

[Zenjitsuman]

AZ. I just saw Trump +5 so Martha is saved.
So at worst one pickup, more if Trump outperforms elsewhare

If its a Red wave and the cheating has little impact, offset by Black and Hispanics voting 10 points higher for Trump than in 2016, we may see a 3 seat pickup.

What I want is Pelosi to be kicked out as Speaker and Trump not to have Bull Schiff for the next 4 years.

We need to see the media left broken up, maybe new ownership. We need to restrain the internet Titans and
go after anti trust on Google.

Because the 28th Congress set that date in 1845? https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R46413.pdf

My view from the nose-bleed seats; GOP loses Colorado/Gardner & Maine/Collins. GOP Gains Alabama/Tuberville, Michigan/James & (maybe) Minnesota/Lewis. Worst case: 52R-46D-2I(Voting D), best case: 54R-44D-2I(Voting D). Fingers crossed, eyes crossed, arms crossed and legs crossed!

I don't know. I agree with redangus that Maine
might be in trouble. But, since AloneInMass voted
R, it might be ok after all.

Anyway, the article seemed straightforward and
not alarmist. I haven't really checked out the
JustTheNews site much before, but they seem ok.

The point is to go out and vote (especially in these
places). For what it's worth, I also have voted
but I'm not to hopeful for New Jersey.

[FLT-bird]

This is what I think as well.

Arizona will be the closest but McSally may just be dragged over the finish line by Trump.

Unfortunately, I think the Republican will come up just short in Minnesota. Maybe we could get a please surprise there.

Otherwise we lose Colorado and Maine and pick up Alabama and Michigan.

[Zathras]

Antifa may have saved McSally.
No one in AZ wants them anywhere near AZ

[silverleaf]

I think we keep SC ( Graham), AZ ( McSally) and NC...I really do not see people voting for an adulterer kicked out by his own wife the week before the election.

If Gardner couldnt hang on to Colorado with Denver going Marxist...what a shame.

Jones out in AL and fingers crossed for James.
Hoping for some red flips in House and Senate in Minnesota

[hsmomx3]

I agree and here in Arizona, the AZ Rag newspaper always shows Kelly and Biden with the lead. Also, I saw a headline online at azcentral.com lastnight about how Trump “disrespected” Martha McSally at the rally yesterday. I was not there and this doesn’t seem plausible to me. More disinformation to sway voters is what I suspect.

“I held my nose and voted for Susan Collins yesterday. I have done all I can.”

You did the right thing.

Clear out FBI and DOJ of all Obama/Clinton appointees.

Fire Wray, and dependent on what Trump knows Barr.

Bring in Tom Fitton for AG he knows all the players and moves...

Put Grennel in charge of FBI , he knows the players and moves

For DOJ. Flynns lawyer or Rudy.. They know the players and moves...

.......

Bonus bold moves.

Reveal all the sexual harassment payments regardless of party

Confirm that the quick reference of Jonathan Turley to their being some sort of congressional policy that its ok for family members to be benefit from office holders

He made a quick reference to that during a Fox interview and its never been touched since then.

This is what Biden is all about he’s not only the key to his family but all of theirs.

this is how they have a $174,000 annual salary but come out multimillionares.

[nathanbedford]

Based on my supposition about Trump's momentum, I believe the Republicans will not lose control of the Senate but actually gain a seat or two.

[nesnah]

Quite correct.
