I would count this as a “Bonus”, the Senate will not be so close that his vote is likely to be needed to win or pass legislation, should he win.
Romney is retiring so that’s good, We need a solid 54 or 55 to make sure the usual suspects can’t play their games.. Murkowski, Collins etc. At the moment it looks good that the GOP will gain some significant senate seats this election
With Manchin retiring its almost certain the GOP will win WV senate seat.
Lake should win AZ, especially if Trump wins the state for the Presidency which would be another gain, but now with the Abortion ruling, this could shift things there, we will see.
Montana SHOULD flip R.. but never count Tester out.
Ohio SHOULD be a flip to R as well
So that’s 54 if that come to pass.
MD would be a surprise win honestly, Though he is relatively popular governor, not sure the state will go for him as Senator, but if they do that would put the Senate at 55, and even though he is going to be fare more liberal that most GOP folks want if he wins, with 54 seats, he Murkowski and Collins wont be enough to stop more conservative bills from passing in the senate.
MI is an open election, so could be another pick up depending on how Trump does there... Dem who will likely be the nominee tends to over perform... So for Senate win MI, Trump is going to have to win MI big I think to wind up with R senator winning out of MI.
Hopefully when its all done GOP will have 54 or more seats
Incumbency is a tough nut to crack. Hogan is going for an open seat. Opportunity.
Right now, we’re gonna lose SO BAD! So many millions of voters are apparently happy to risk finishing the country off just so they can have their precious abortion sacrament.
Best to do as Trump did and not run our mouths in favor of federal abortion restrictions if we want to come even CLOSE to winning.
