So, in his 30 percent or so of the scenarios in which each model runs, the Republicans win a majority in the Senate. In interpreting these numbers, FiveThirtyEight characterizes the odds as slightly favored for Democrats to win the Senate. In short, be careful not to take these models for granted.

FiveThirtyEight and The Economist say the disparity in candidate quality between Democrats and Republicans plays a key role in the broader battle for the majority in explaining why the Democratic Party’s odds have improved recently. points out.

That assessment is consistent with one recently provided by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. McConnell said Republicans were more likely to overthrow the House than the Senate (he is right). and added this: “Senator elections are different. They’re statewide. Candidate quality has a lot to do with results.”

This resulted in a not-so-subtle denunciation from Senator Rick Scott, who runs the Senate Republican campaign division.

“Unfortunately, many of those responsible for losing the Senate last cycle are trying to stop them from winning a majority this time by trash-talking the Republican candidate. Scott wrote in an op-ed It was published in the Washington Examiner last week. “This is an act of astonishing cowardice and, ultimately, an act of treason against a conservative cause.”

The salvation for Republicans is that there is still plenty of time before Election Day. The average voter is just entering the campaign season now that Labor Day is over. And candidates can improve on the trail. (For example, Walker currently a more professional team around him Reduced what it once looked like gaffes almost every day.)
