Washington Post: “Democrats’ chances of hanging on to control of the Senate next year hinge on at least two Democratic senators pulling off a feat that has been increasingly rare in recent years: winning even as former president Donald Trump carries their states.”
“Democrats need to hold on to Senate seats in Montana and Ohio — two states Trump is almost certain to win — and win five other competitive races to retain the majority if President Biden wins reelection.”
“Senators used to win reelection in states carried by the opposite party’s presidential candidate all the time, but it has become much harder as fewer and fewer voters split their tickets.”
“Just one senator — Susan Collins (R-ME) — has pulled it off in a presidential year since 2012.”
