It'd probably be a House candidate who had to run right for years to avoid a primary in a gerrymandered seat...making it harder for him to win statewide.

Yeah, this is a blue sky poll for Dems that would refresh their Georgia bench overnight and wipe out Republicans. (Who's the 2030 gov frontrunner if Rs lose LG and AG?)

If she loses this is 100% on Trump in a way no Senate loss would be. He begged for Graham to be the nominee. It's also genuinely been a while since we had a six-year term fluke Senator who starts as a one-term wonder. Doug Jones was there for just three years...likely Mark Kirk?

Treating the U.S. Senate seat in South Carolina like a family heirloom months before a general election was a historic act of hubris. Even in a red state, it’s just crazy to put yourself in this position with a candidate who has no experience or skill with political campaigns!

I'm going on record as saying SC will be closer than NH and MN.

She won't run again. This was a one-time only situation.

My guess is Graham ultimately wins by around 4% And probably gets primaried regardless in 6 years

No one is having a better day than Peggy Flanagan. 😊

Whether you voted for Donald Trump, Lindsey Graham, or someone else, you deserve leaders who care more about lowering your bills than playing politics in Washington. That’s what this campaign is about.

If you have not bought a People Magazine in the last year, you should not care who their Sexiest Man Alive is.

Dems won the US Senate that year. Just looking at that graph isn't good enough to see what was going on under the hood.

It's insane how rare it is that a losing senator makes a comeback. Brown being the first (if he wins) to do so since 1988 is truly a crazy stat if you think about how often former House members successfully run again for their seats after losing.

We are officially kicking off my 2026 election night guide, with predictions in all Senate/Gov/House seats. We start with the "A" states, including the critical AK Gov/Sen elections, as well as 2 flip opps in AZ & an endangered Dem incumbent in Alabama: theworldofjot29.blogspot.com…

In what is likely the only non-partisan, top tier poll of the entire South Carolina Senate race post Darline Graham's entry, it's a tie. I can't really hope for this win (SC is so red), but if Andrews gets the upset, it'd be one of the coolest wins I've gotten to witness. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Now we're talking Minnesota! This is the kind of margin that wins us back the State House.

Jean Harlow is so beautiful and brilliant in this movie (one of the best of the pre-Code talkies).

There's really not, at least federally. Manchin had to be close, but even then I'd wager a majority of his voters were Clinton supporters rather than Trump. Murkowski is really in a class by herself in being a politician who is in office due to the other party.
Jacob Rubashkin@JacobRubashkin21h
Is there any other American politician like Murk… a Republican whose base is Democratic voters?

So what's the bet...they go 52D-48R for the final prediction for the Senate?

Susan Collins retiring (which was surely an option) should also be on this list.

As bad as the map currently is for Republicans, it’s strange to imagine that it could’ve actually been worse for them. 1. If Alani Bankhead didn’t decide to sabotage the Montana Senate race 2. If John Bel Edwards had agreed to run in Louisiana like Schumer was pushing for
