With four weeks until Election Day, new reports on the state of the Senate map are reaching a clear consensus: Senate Republicans are in trouble. With a toxic president, a nonexistent Supreme Court bump, and Democratic challengers raising massive sums from grassroots supporters, Mitch McConnell’s majority is looking “increasingly vulnerable” and facing “major head winds” in the final stretch of the election cycle.
“Senate Republicans enter the final weeks of this election pouring millions of dollars into states they never expected would be competitive, and are still struggling to explain their indefensible records of voting to eliminate protections for pre-existing conditions and their failed coronavirus response,” said DSCC spokesperson Stewart Boss. ”Four weeks from now, Americans across the country are going to vote for change and elect a Democratic majority in the Senate.”
