Here are my hot takes about the competitive Senate races. Longpost:
- Ashley Hinson is not a good candidate, I don’t care. But Iowa 50-50
- Roger Marshall is so toxic I can see an argument for Kansas being Lean D. Hamilton being a S tier candidate + blue wave + left-trending state + GOP senator that can’t campaign and has -20 approval would be viewed as Lean D by most outside observers
- that said KS is still a Tilt R/Tossup because I have Bollier PTSD
- Dems are gonna overperform by a lot in MS/LA/SC but I’ll believe it when I see it
- Speaking of SC I think the hype is somewhat real and all the conditions for a Dem win there have been met but it’s probably just too red. I hope not tho but we’ll see
- Nebraska is more competitive than everyone thinks… the GOP has barely led there on their internals and everyone thinks it’s Likely R while the other 2 Corn Belt states are tossups? It doesn’t make any sense to me, sorry
- If OH/TX/AK/ME don’t flip we’re fucked

(21/22) REMAINING REPUBLICAN HOLDS 🔴
Alabama, Arkansas, Idaho, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
We anticipate a favorable national environment for Democrats, but those states remain too Republican for us to predict an upset.
(22/22) FINAL PMP SENATE PREDICTION:
🔵 55 Democratic-aligned
🔴 44 Republicans
🟣 1 Independent
Eight Democratic pickups. An Independent victory in Nebraska. Mississippi is our boldest call.
Several races could change on a tiny swing in turnout.
Fight like we’re losing. Celebrate when we’ve won.
What state do you think we’re getting wrong?
