Republican senators sound the alarm over the possibility of their party being in minority after the midterm election.
The messaging here could mean two things — either they are saying this to encourage the GOP base to go out in droves and vote for GOP candidates — or they are already throwing in the towel and have given up due to some discouraging polls.
According to the polls, Arizona Senate candidate Blake Masters is leading and Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance lost their Senate races. As we all know, polls don’t tell the whole story, and most times, polls are incorrect.
This poll is the latest for Ohio Senate Race. It is encouraging news for Vance considering that it was an internal Impact Research/Democratic poll.

Both races are winnable, but if the GOP is going to give up already and go in with the mindset of a win will be if the Senate remains 50-50, then that’s what the reality of it will be. This tactic could prove to be effective if it is used to inspire the GOP base and get them out voting.
Democrat John Fetterman 47%
Republican Dr. Oz: 30%

The polls for the Pennsylvania Senate race have not favored Mehmet Oz, as the most recent poll showed Fetterman with a 17-point advantage, but if independents turn out due to the Biden administration’s failed policies, even Oz will have a chance to win. Turnout is everything.
Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) told CBS’ “Face the Nation” it’s “going to be a hard year.”
“We have 21 Republicans up, only 14 Democrats … The Democrats are outraising us, but we have good candidates. And I believe Joe Biden is going to be our key here.”
Last week, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-KY, tried to calm expectations and told Fox News:
“I think it’s going to be very tight. There is a fifty-fifty nation. And I think when this Senate race smoke clears, we’re likely to have a very, very close Senate still, with us up slightly or the Democrats up slightly.”
Doug Heye is a Republican strategist
“There’s been a lot of curtain-measuring on the House sid,e and if Republicans take back the House but it’s by a small margin and they manage to hold onto the Senate even if it’s by one vote, that could cast how we view the election … We’ve seen the expectations game played a lot in Washington, and I think Scott is mindful of that, and depending on where expectations get set you could have a good night that’s defined as a bad night.”
The November 8th election is rapidly approaching and the GOP needs to do all it can to get people to turn out in red. As RedState’s Bonchie reported, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will hit the campaign trail this month – traveling to New Mexico, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Ohio to help the GOP candidates cross the finish line. It’s going to take an all-hands-on-deck approach in all states, by voters who oppose Biden’s policies for the Republicans to win decisively in the House and win the majority in the Senate.
