a note on Indiana, which remains Likely Republican in our ratings ... partisanship should carry Braun over the top
substantial, but not overwhelming, leads in Montana, Texas, Florida, and Nebraska, all of which are rated Leans Republican
The two incumbent Republicans who are favored to lose in tossup races ... are Lori Chavez-DeRemer (OR-05) and David Valadao (CA-22).
the “Blue Wall” states of Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania are the most likely to carry her to victory
