Senate Now Rated a Toss-up After Most Primaries Have Been Held (Sabato's Crystal Ball)
PJ Media ^ | 8/04/2022 | Rick Moran

Posted on 08/04/2022 1:50:43 PM PDT by Signalman

The race for control of the U.S. Senate is heading toward the home stretch and after almost all the primaries have been held, both Republicans and Democrats have a case to be made that they have a good shot at ending up with a majority of the upper chamber.

Reading the tea leaves this election is especially difficult. Sabato’s Crystal Ball rates the battle for Senate control a tossup. Others think the Republicans have a one or two-seat edge.

Even in a “red wave” election, winning the Senate is going to be an uphill battle for Republicans. Of the 35 seats up for grabs, Republicans are defending 21 of them while Democrats are defending only 14 seats, all of which are in states that voted for President Joe Biden in 2020. This limits Republicans’ offensive opportunities.

But there are several incumbents seen as vulnerable for a variety of reasons. Raphael Warnock won his special election in what most observers still see as a red state — Georgia. Mark Kelly is also running for re-election in a very red state — Arizona. A loss in either or both of those states would give the GOP control.

And in Nevada, Catherine Cortez Masto will have a real battle on her hands to fend off the strong challenge of state AG Adam Laxalt

The GOP can afford to lose one of those two vulnerable seats. Otherwise, knocking off Democrats in states won by Joe Biden is going to be tough. Can Republicans do it while running so many candidates with so little experience?

Like Kari Lake said --- the voting will have to overcome the fraud. Get out and vote, especially if you live in PA, GA, WI, AZ, or MI.

Become a poll worker. Don't take your eyes off the bastards while the counting is happening.

Excellent advice. That's part of the reason VA was so successful for the GOP last year.

With Mitch placing the Ukraine, NATO expansion, foreign aid and corporate tax reduction as his top agenda items, what do we expect?

This is what needs to be taking place right now as they count the votes. I am praying real hard Lake has people watching over the shoulders of those counting the votes! We cannot fall asleep at the wheel

I believe that our once Grand Republic is to wither on the vine because no one is willing to stand up. I have told the GOPers canvassing, that as long as Mitch McConnel and Kevin McCarthy are still not only in Congress, but hold leadership positions, many will not vote this Nove,bet! Just look at what happened to Kari Lake. She was up considerably going int9 her primary, then look what happens, Maricopa County plays it games again and gets away with it! Where are the Republicans??????

Agreed. The phase "...states won by Joe Biden..." is meaningless. I believe there are none. Well, maybe CA, NY, and a couple other deep blue States. But everyone and their dog knows there was industrial scale fraud committed. Biden did not win anything - he was installed to be a meat puppet / mouthpiece.

The fraud is going to be worse, much worse in coming elections. The 'rats have made a complete and entirely predictable mess of every single thing they have touched. The Country is mad, mad as hell. We are ready to take it out on them at the polls. The 'rats know this and fearing for their beloved power will stop at nothing to keep it. The level of fraud this election is going to be epic. Too bad we don't have firing squads for people caught committing fraud. That would put a dent in many a leftist's enthusiasm for "the ends justifies any means."

That the democrats, riding on Biden’s failed economic and other insane policies don’t lose 10-12 seats just shows how far we’ve fallen and how quickly people forget.

The guy is a prof at the University. CNN and the leftist media made him famous.

Doesn’t hurt to safeguard your local electoral process.

Nearly 600 races are at stake.......stop the fraud now......

Sabato is not our friend. The Democrats are wrecking the country and he acts like its the Yankees and the Dodgers.

NH is a very pro-abortion state. The Supreme court made it more difficult to unseat Hassan.
