In 2022, the dismal political environment for Democrats may trump it all. ...The (realistic) best-case scenario for Democrats now looks like simply holding their 50-seat majority, capitalizing on weak GOP candidates in a few key races, but inevitably losing at least one of their own. Cortez Masto looks like the most vulnerable Democratic senator right now, but perhaps they can make up a loss by winning the open GOP-held seat in Pennsylvania. The worst-case scenario for Democrats could mean four or more GOP Senate pickups, moving into the bluer parts of the map. That would entail Republican pickups in Arizona, Georgia, and Nevada, the three most favorable states on the map, holds in the two GOP-held states Biden carried, along with an upset in New Hampshire or Colorado. This is the “wave scenario” that’s looking more likely. Adding insult to injury, the Senate map gets downright brutal for Democrats in 2024, with the party defending seats in Republican-friendly West Virginia, Ohio, and Montana, along with other swing-state challenges. It’s a formula for Democrats to sink into a long-term Senate minority, unless Biden starts tending to the interests of his most vulnerable members. That sure looks like "running scared" 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
