In this year’s battle for the Senate, it appears even flawed Republican candidates likely won’t be able to stop their side from winning control of the chamber.
The race for the White House hogs most of the attention in a presidential election year, relegating the race for Congress to ugly stepsister status. But in recent years, we’ve all learned how important down-ballot races can be in shaping American policy. That’s especially true for the Senate, which is responsible for the confirmations of government officials and Supreme Court nominees.
Among the eight Democratic Senate seats mentioned above, there are no states beyond West Virginia where the polls show Republicans with a solid lead, despite the fundamentals favoring their party this year. Democratic Senate candidates seem to be at least tied or ahead in Arizona, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
