Yeah, but I bet most of them weren't a Senator. That comes with a certain responsibility. We should expect Senators to set a good example. If everyone acted like Graham did, we'd have more sick Americans

This is the real reason - Brooks fell to third place and Trump didn't want to be embarrassed. You'll find few if any more loyal followers than Mo Brooks

When the GOP wins Arizona, our Senate forecast has them taking the majority over 95% of the time. However, the race is going to be a harder win than Michigan despite AZ's redder hue, thanks to Dem's edge in candidate recruitment.
If Republicans can flip Arizona, they'll almost certainly win the Senate majority. However, Democrat Ruben Gallego has an early edge in the race over Republican Kari Lake. Here's the new RacetotheWH interactive forecast for Arizona. racetothewh.com/arizona

Oregon and Colorado seem like big misses to me too. If the Republicans get a proper red tidal wave (R+7-8 and & beyond), there's a shot those go into play. Doubtful they could take advantage with the current candidates.

That's not really how power or politics works. Just because you are one out of 1/100 Senators doesn't mean you write the whole tax code. The only tax bill Biden played a pivotal role in raised taxes for the wealthy and cut them for the middle class - and that was as VP

Here's a thread explaining why my forecast still has McAuliffe ever so slightly favored - and some underlying assumptions I made that might not prove true in Virginia.
In my Virginia Forecast, there is a huge clash between the polling and the fundamentals. As a result, even though Youngkin is ahead by almost 1% in the polling, I still have McAuliffe slightly ahead.

Iowa is quite close (In polls, Trump up <1%) but because Trump blew most of his cash, he's going dark, right as Biden starts his ads up. Bet this could happen in Ohio (Biden +1.5%) too.

Warnock is polling 8% ahead of Collins, & 9% ahead of Loeffler. Plus, Loeffler has a truly incredible -10% approval, and Warnock is quite popular. I just don't get why people think Republicans are favored, let alone dominant favorites.

There's a plausible scenario where this cycle because a bloodbath for Senate Republicans if Democrats overperform their current projections by just a few points. If that happens, they could easily win 55 or more seats

Could Texas go Blue? Democrats have long dreamed of winning the Lone Star State, and a Fox News Poll showed Biden up 1. In the Race to the White House Presidential Forecast, racetothewh.com/president we still have Trump winning Texas, but Biden has a 1/3 shot at an upset

That's a trend we have been seeing nationally. Democrats are outperforming Republican's in the national generic ballot by about 2% on average, even as Biden's approval rating is 3% underwater.
McAuliffe's margin in the Fox News poll and in the polling in general in Virginia is about 4-5 points higher than Biden's net approval rating in VA. Give McAuliffe a bit of a cushion.

True! This is a result of limited polling - I'm putting every public Biden approval rating from each state I can find in the weighed average. Some states just don't have very much - including Michigan. He's probably a bit higher then net -4% in Michigan, and lower in Utah

Thanks. BTW - I don't choose the ratings manually. It's based on the projection from my forecast, which is driven by data. Safe D/R = 95%+ chance to win Likely D/R = 85-95% chance Lean D/R = 75-85% chance Tilt D/R = 65-75%+ chance Tossup = 45-65% chance

It makes a ton of sense - Loeffler has a horrible approval rating, and it never fully recovered after the corona briefing. That's why we had Warnock as a 71 percent favorite in a head to head runoff. That's only going up now.

Second, flip Maine and North Carolina. Democrats have a 70% chance of taking both - not safe, but a clear edge. Now, when they can win five or all of these six states, Democrats win the Senate 87% of the time. Lose two, and their chance plummets to 31% (2/3)
