The Democrat's rival this time around is the state's attorney general — a young, polished, Stanford-and-Yale-educated former clerk to Chief Justice John Roberts.
Sen. Claire McCaskill needs another miracle.
The Missouri Democrat swept into office with a little less than 50 percent of the vote in the 2006 Democratic wave. Six years later, she provided an assist to a Republican rival during the primary and then defeated him in the general election after he said women's bodies have a way to "shut the whole thing down" if pregnancies are the result of "legitimate rape."
Now, in a year in which control of the Senate could turn on a single race, McCaskill is locked in what is sure to be one of the nastiest, most closely contested and expensive elections in the nation.
"Democrats like Claire McCaskill have basically abandoned their constituents," said Nick Meyers, the chairman of the Newton County GOP in the southwest corner of the state, citing her votes against Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch, seven of Trump's Cabinet nominees, and his tax cut. "I don't think she will be able to make the issue something other than her voting record this time."

McCaskill probably wins reelection. She’s going to run for president in 2020. She’s the Heartland candidate the Democratic National Committee needs.
I hope she gets her butt kicked to the curb.
> McCaskill probably wins
You live in Missouri? Where?
She’s been talking more “conservative” for a few months, and there are a lot of potential greenhorn voters, but really, our memories are probably longer than a year.
She was one of the first Senators that got behind so omit in 2008. She needs to pay for that with a stunning defeat!
Make that Ovomit.
She’s toast.. would have been gone in 12 if Republicans hadn’t run such an idiot.
What effing moron thinks women don’t get pregnant from rape?
She’s toast....
While the Republicans are on track to lose the house, because they don’t know or understand who the electorate is outside of the deep red reliable voters... They are going to LOSE sadly a lot of Pink and Purple districts they should easily win if they knew how to message... But apparently they think they can run campaigns like 2016 never happened, and think its going to win
They are going to handily pick up a lot of seats in the Senate.
She’s one who keeps wanting to change the POTUS requirements to eliminate the NBC.
You’re on the wrong chat site.....this one is for conservatives not claptrap negativity!!!!
I don’t live in MO. I have friends and family that do in Saint Charles and they’re saying that Claire is running for president.
She’ll need to have to cheat and steal it again?
I live in St. Charles County, there is no way Claire McCaskill will run for president.
She & all other Rats will need to cheat also......that’s the only way the Rats can win!!!
stinking dem news article. Didn’t see “Attorney General Josh Hawley” until the THIRD paragraph.
“Hawley’s views on the abortion issue are unequivocal. “Abortion is not a right. It is a violent act against the defenseless. It violates every principle of morality and should be barred by American law.”

In NBC's dreams. There should be at least a 5 seat swing to the pubbies, as the Rats have to defend 24 seats, as well as the seats of two independents who caucus with them. The Republicans have only nine seats up for election. No blue wave this year.
Why not?
PLEASE! In the name of all that is Holy, help us rid this State of the denture-clicking, high-heel clacking, mindless-chattering old hen!
I know no one will believe this...but, the Republicans will win between 8-12 Senate seats, now held by Democrats. McCaskill, Nelson, Warren, Sherrod, Manchin, Kaine, are just the starters of the losing Democrat, Traitors & Turncoats.
And, the Pubbies will pick-up ten-twenty seats in the House.
I fully expect R’s to gain 6+ in the senate.
The house, as I said, if the messaging for the fall is the same they used in PA18, they will handily lose the house
She should have never won in the first place!
