Next year’s Senate elections in Georgia and Nevada are shaping up to be close, with President Joe Biden’s falling popularity raising GOP hopes of unseating Democratic incumbents.
“As you know, Republicans only need to win one net seat to gain a majority and it’s becoming increasingly clear that we have opportunities across the country to win,” Jackie Schutz Zeckman, the NRSC’s executive director, wrote in the two-page memo.
Both states are among a crop of super-competitive races that will determine which party controls the Senate after the 2022 midterms. Biden won Georgia and Nevada by slim margins in 2020, but the NRSC’s polling showed that a majority of voters in both states — 55 percent in Georgia, 56 percent in Nevada — disapprove of his performance as president.
