US: Per the Cook Report:
- "With just over 100 days until Election Day, the political climate appears
dire for Republicans across the board. President Trump is the decided underdog
against former Vice President Joe Biden in our Electoral College ratings and
Democrats could end up expanding their House majority. That leaves the Senate as
Republicans' firewall-the final barrier to unified control for Democrats in
2021. While GOP incumbents are trying to run races independent of the president,
if Trump's polling numbers remain this dismal come November, that's an
unenviable and likely unsuccessful strategy, according to several top party
strategists. As of now, Democrats are a slight favorite to win the Senate
majority. "Something remarkable would have to happen for Republicans to still
have control of the Senate after November," remarked one GOP pollster. "It's
grim. There's just so many places where Democrats either have the upper hand or
are competitive in states that six months ago we wouldn't have considered at
risk.""
