POLITICO’s latest election forecast finds Republicans’ Senate majority “in serious danger of being swept out” in 2020. According to POLITICO’s new analysis of the Senate map, “Democrats have both built leads in states that were previously considered up-for-grabs” as well as put new states firmly on the map, “expanding their path to a majority” and moving the overall race for Senate control “close to a coin flip.”
POLITICO also made two major ratings changes in key Senate races, moving Iowa and Montana to toss-up:
Democrats are increasingly well-positioned in other key states: retired astronaut Mark Kelly has “consistently outpolled” unelected Senator Martha McSally in Arizona, and Senator Cory Gardner is in “extreme peril” in Colorado, where John Hickenlooper “begins with a lead.”
