MIDTERMS: Two Of Six Key Senate Races Fall To Favoured Candidates

US

Two of the six most important Senate races have been projected in favour the pre-election favourite.

  • JD Vance (R-OH) has defeated Rep Tim Ryan (D-OH) for the Ohio Senate race. Note: Vance is the first Trump-endorsee in a key race to win.
    • Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH) has defeated Don Bolduc in New Hampshire.
    • Georgia remains on a knife-edge.
    • Pennsylvania: Lt Gov John Fetterman (D-PA) now favourite to flip the seat for Democrats.
    • Nevada and Arizona too early to call.

Takeaways:

  • Trump-endorsed candidates appear to be struggling in key races in Pennsylvania and Arizona. This may have implications for a Trump 2024 presidential bid.
  • Republican controlled House and Democrat controlled Senate now looking the most likely outcome.
  • Democrats are appearing to outperform expectations in the House and look like avoiding the heavy losses tipped by a number of pundits.
