I will admit that this new analysis from Larry Sabato surprises me a bit. Lindsey Graham?
— The focus on the evenly-matched battle for the Senate has in some ways narrowed to four GOP-held seats: Arizona, Colorado, Maine, and North Carolina.
— Practically speaking, Democrats probably have to win all four, and the White House, to win the Senate.
— However, the map may be expanding. Democrats’ best bet among the other targets probably is Montana, but we still see a small Republican edge there.
— We are making two rating changes this week on the periphery of the Senate map: Alaska and South Carolina move from Safe Republican to Likely Republican.
Whoa …
The Cook Report moved that race from safe to likely too.
I doubt he’s really in trouble. But if this change is recent it may be that Graham’s obsequious Trump bootlicking may have actually hurt him a little bit. What’s Lindsey going to do? Hug Trump even tighter? How is that possible? If he moves away from him, he risks losing the cult. Oh, what a dilemma.
Taking the Senate out of McConnell’s hands is as important as removing Trump from the White House. They are the Tweedledee and Tweedledum of American Carnage. If this holds up there is a slight chance that we might actually be able to stop this ship of state from completely sinking.
