Unless something crazy happens they have the House next year…
But the US Senate WAS a remote thing…
No longer…
Democrats are in good stead in Colorado, Arizona and have good chances for Maine and North Carolina…
Like in the 2018 midterms?
Donald Trump seems to have NO coattails right now…
Chuck Schumer might just get Majority Leader spot come January…
And?
What went round?
Might just be getting ready to COME around for a different side next time…
Last September, I wrote in this space that small developments had given Democrats “some reason for optimism about next year’s fight for the Senate.” But I also noted that the party would “need an upset or two to win control of the chamber next November.”
More than seven months later, circumstances have changed.
Democrats no longer need an “upset or two” to win control of the Senate later this year. In fact, while the fight for Senate control in November is a toss-up, I’d probably put a pinkie on the scale for Democrats right now.
It’s not that Democrats have really widened the playing field, though they have. Those “extra” races on the board, in places like Montana and Georgia, aren’t the greatest of opportunities for them.
It’s simply that the Democrats’ initial top prospects have succeeded in proving their fundraising mettle and have taken advantage of Donald Trump’s GOP….
Note…
Lindsey Graham and Mitch McConnell also have strong challengers , but will probably squeak by…
