Fight for control of Senate intensifies as Democrats capitalize: 'Odds have improved'

The math was never on the GOP’s side.

Republicans enjoy a 53-47 majority in the U.S. Senate, but the party’s defending 23 of the 35 seats up for grabs in the chamber this November. And while at least a half-dozen GOP seats are considered battlegrounds, Democrats are defending just a handful of vulnerable incumbents.

Two developments this month appear to be giving the Democrats a further boost.

“I do think it’s 50/50 right now. I think that Democrats' odds have improved over the past month,” predicted Jessica Taylor, who closely tracks the Senate races for the Cook Report, a leading non-partisan political handicapper.

We better quit right now!

[MeneMeneTekelUpharsin]

Talk about complete catastrophe, that would be it.

The Cooked Report... Polls are cooked by them...

When the President is reelected, will the rats attempt another “impeachment” coup d’etat?

[Lurkinanloomin]

It doesn’t help that the GOP is trying to hold onto their Bush League Republican Senators, Tillis, Lofgren, McSally, Gardner.

[LoveMyFreedom]

We better not be sitting back and thinking the Republicans are going to hold. We have to fight like there was no tomorrow. It is plain and simple!

[Lurkinanloomin]

You bet they will, even if they do take the Senate, they still won’t have 2/3rds.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Yes they will. If Democrats still control the house after the November election while Trump is re-elected, there will be another impeachment. An impeachment could easily evolve out of the investigation the Democrats want to do about the Trump Administration response to the Coronavirus.

GOP Senators up for election should just quit now according to Faux.

ya....Biden coat-tails and all....

Trump needs to start kicking butt on opening up this nation ASAP.

When criticized, simply ask, "How many people are dying BECAUSE of the lockdown?"

There three kinds of lies: Lies,damn lies and statistics

About the author:

For 28 years, Paul Steinhauser worked in various capacities at CNN culminating in his position as political editor.

I'm sure Paul is just an honest broker of unbiased political information. /s

[usafa92]

Another lie, Cook Report is anything but non-partisan.

[z3n]

[DarthVader]

More propaganda about an election that is not going to take place.

[Logical me]

The Senate has a problem with at least three Republicans that lean communist Democratic and all of the Democrats are simple minded idiots to follow Pelosi, the insane nitwit.

...predicted Jessica Taylor, who closely tracks the Senate races for the Cook Report...

Mi is a possible pick up if the GOP would help. We have a black vet running against a devoted rat and after Half Whits
BS it would seem to be an opportunity.

[ocrp1982]

The election cycle hasn’t begun yet. When Trump unleashes his campaign against Dementia Joe and he can’t hide in his basement anymore the landscape will become very different than it is this early in the year.

[aMorePerfectUnion]

By the time we get to November, I believe the country will understand who the demoncrats really are.

I say senate holds and R’s regain house.

Trump wins by larger number of electoral votes.
