Thursday

NC, ME and OH are the most likely pickups, but the Trump-induced widespread suffering over the past year has also put AK, TX, IA into play.

MI and GA are two swing seats we will have to defend, but both are less vulnerable than at this time last year. With the 20+ point swing towards Dems in MTG’s district this week, Ossoff’s odds improved dramatically.

Even if we only net a gain of 2-3 seats, it positions Dems well for 2028, when the senate map will be much more in our favor.
