Tillis is about as popular as the coronavirus. Let’s hope the voting machines don’t suffer any republican induced failures on Election Day.

One prediction so far - this assumes Bullock gets in the Montana race.

Excellent list. Thx.

85-year-old Republican Jim Inhofe of Oklahoma, the guy who brought a snowball to the Senate floor to dispute climate change, is running again.

Of course, Doug Jones is likely to lose in Alabama, so that would be a net 3 for Democrats. Whichever party held the vice-presidency would be the tie-breaker in that situation.
Is not the Democrat Senator from Michigan projected to lose this cycle?
Not seriously. He’s up by four to the same R challenger who lost to Debbie Stabenow in 2018 52-46.

I doubt it, especially if Biden is the nominee. He'll carry Michigan and Peters will get reelected. As it is, Cook/Sabato/everyone has it as a lean D and the polls have had him up by about 6 points.

Holy macaroni!
Yeah even if trump gets re-elected, if the Senate flips then there might actually be some control on his worst ethical lapses.
