Analysts: Democrats potentially poised to take control of Senate
Political analysts are pointing to Democrats' increasing odds of flipping the Senate this fall.
July ratings from The Cook Political Report predict the race for Sen. Martha McSally's (R-Ariz.) seat is now in Democrat Mark Kelly's favor, and Georgia and Iowa's Republican-held spots are now rated toss-ups. Four other Republican-held seats are considered toss ups as well, and just one win would negate a likely loss for Sen. Doug Jones (D-Ala.). If Democrats won three Senate seats, they would take control of the chamber. Even Republican strategists tell Cook they're worried. "Something remarkable would have to happen for Republicans to still have control of the Senate after November," one GOP pollster said.
