May primaries show form of next Senate class

The May primaries have already offered glimpses of what the next Senate could look like — including a potentially Trumpier Republican class.

Many of the new crop of Republican candidates have strong ties to former President Donald Trump and his brand of politics, crediting him for their success.

And because the Senate is currently evenly split 50-50, with Vice President Kamala Harris’ tie-breaking vote giving Democrats the majority, a gain or loss of even one seat could flip control of the chamber and decide the fate of the next two years of the Biden administration.

The story is behind a pay wall, so can't be read.

However, a Senate in 2023 has the potential to include:

AK - Kelly Tshibaka - replacing Lisa Murkowski

AL - Mo Brooks or Katie Britt - replacing Richard Shelby

AZ - Blake Masers - replacing Mark Kelly

GA - Herschel Walker - replacing Rafael Warnock

MO - Eric Grietens - replacing Roy Blunt

NV - Adam Laxalt - replacing Catherine Cortez Masto

NH - Chuck Morse - replacing Maggie Hassan

NC - Ted Budd - replacing Richard Burr

OH - JD Vance - replacing Rob Portman

OK - Somebody - replacing Jim Inhofe

PA - Mehmet Oz or Dave McCormick - replacing Pat Toomey

I wish we could get that outhouse on the Hill to look American. Way too many foreign imbeciles in the House and Senate. Elect those with low I.Q.s, you’re going to have a low I.Q. Congress. And that’s exactly what we’ve got.

GO TRUMP GO

53-47

Pick-ups in: Georgia, AZ, NC

Maybe PA

Longshot: Nevada

Too many attorneys. Too many Muslims. Too many cultural (and economic) Marxists.

Maybe they can elect an effective representative in the Senate, other than Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky .
Maybe the Senate will actually accomplish some "common sense" legislation, rather than follow an 'empty suit' run by nameless subordinates and a teleprompter.

Mitt and Collins are a reliable dem vote.

Good news. The brainwashed defeatists and Soros trolls who infest this site will hate it. That’s more good news.

NC and PA are obviously not pickups, they are merely holds at best.

Though Budd would be a nice improvement over Burr, it’s still not technically a “pickup”, nor is Alaska a pickup if Tshibaka somehow beats Murkowski but it would be almost as pleasant.

Don’t you mean NH not NC as a pickup?

Michael Bennet in Colorado is in trouble (his words). Depending on the CO primary and the shift in Hispanic vote, watch that one along with NV.
