“Does Kelly take the seat on Nov. 4th if he wins? Why am I getting texts saying that if he wins, Amy Coney Barret will not be seated on SCOTUS bc we will lose McSally’s vote?”
The Barrett floor vote will be late this month, BEFORE the election. If it does not get to the floor by then, then Linda will lose his senate seat.
The Arizona Senate race is a special election to fill McCain’s former seat for the last two years of his term. Under Arizona law Kelly can be sworn in after November 30th instead of the usual January date for the start of a new term.
Since when is Georgia a swing state?!?
Where would he be if he was winning?
I’m in NC and I think since Cal Cunningham got caught with his pants down it’ll help Tillis. I gave to both Trump and Tillis on Sunday
Yeah—the Deja Vu is really strong around here.
It has been a tough four years under President Hillary...
He should not need to add money to NC or Georgia so I cannot say this looks like a good thing. Biden has almost unlimited money funneled through BLM and Billionaire donors so watching where he sends it tells nothing.
I think he is trying to finish off AZ,FL, and NC. Then come back I’m 10 days and sit in MI, MN, and WI.
Georgia is a swing state in lefty “reporter” wet dreams.
It is a “tell” that you are reading lefty propaganda.
By the way, the article references a whopping 2 million dollars and this was PRIOR TO the current poll drop (whether that poll drop is real or not). At the time, the North Carolina and Georgia Senate seats looked grim, and to help Trump needs a great turnout. Both seats now look like are potentially safe and he may start moving money back around in the final weeks.
Texas
Worrying is pointless. Cast your vote in November.
Live your life.
Any post affair polls, news, or obsevations?
$2 million seems like a drop in the bucket for how much money the RNC has raised, but I guess they have to give money to races other than the presidential race, of which there are many. The Senate races are VERY important this year.
First, if Trump was behind in Iowa or Ohio, states that he won in 2016 by 9 and 8 points, he would be DOUBLING his ad buys there. If Iowa and Ohio fall, Trump would be toast. So reallocating $$ out of Iowa and Ohio makes perfect sense. Obviously, the campaign feels that they are in a strong position in those states. IMHO, it is good news that Trump is dark in Ohio/Iowa.
Second, Trump absolutely needs FL, NC, GA, and AZ. Early voting is going on/starting in these states, and it is a good time to go pedal to the metal. They need to be cautious about GA, as there is a black senate candidate who will bring out more black vote than in other states, and GA has been trending blue. Also, we have 2 senate seats up in GA. To me, it is not surprising that they would reallocate money to protect the South. If they win these states, they only need 3 EVs for a 269-269 tie (Trump wins), which means any one of the following puts them over the top: Nevada, Michigan, Wisconsin, or PA.
Third, note they are not taking any ad money out of PA. PA is probably the state they have the best shot at winning in the Rust Belt, and a win there means that Trump could absorb losses in MI, WI, and AZ and still win.
I believe they’re running ads in Texas.
“But, I heard just yesterday that Ernst is up big in the polls, there.”
I hope you’re right. Her opponent was indeed annoying repeating the tired old mantra “Trump will gut Social Security.”
South, Like Virginia?
Is Virginia in Play?
Sometimes it seems like he doesn’t really want to win..
Not good.
