Every race winners take
401–425 of 631
I still think that given the general attitude towards folks right now that, toward the the direction of the country, still feelings about the economy... that it's still Trump's race to lose
We've left the Wisconsin senate race between Democrat Tammy Baldwin and Republican Eric Hovde... in our tilt Democratic category.
They've raised a lot of money. You see a last minute investment coming in from national groups here right now, but I think it might be a little bit too little too late here to really push that across the line.
moving Texas from lean Republican to tilt Republican, which is just one step away from toss-up
I think Harris... You'd still rather be Harris than Trump at this point.
A a a tilt Republican district in our ratings.
as of next year, we'll almost certainly be represented by Democrat Sarah Elfreth
you guys just shifted Virginia seven to tilt democratic
I forget which one you guys have, Virginia seven... Virginia two right now. Tilt republican.
you moved the Zach Nunn race... from toss-up to tilt republican... Now Nunn... he has repaired that image.
as well as the Pennsylvania senate race between Democrat Bob Casey junior and Republican Dave McCormack. We'd left those in our tilt Democratic category.
Jackson and Bishop are competing to succeed Democrat Josh Stein, who was favored to win the governorship even before Republican Mark Robinson's campaign imploded in September .
He's not winning New Mexico. There's my prediction. Now we make predictions on this podcast?
You know what? He's he's not winning Massachusetts.
Trump won 53 to 43% in Alaska in 2020. He's likely to do about the same here, so Peltola really does need a lot of crossover support.
democrats really have not had much success in Indiana a long time, and Trump's going to easily carry the third time
So Republicans have one safe flip in their favor. They're almost certainly going to take the West Virginia Senate seat that Joe Manchin previously held.
So in all likelihood, this will be a win for Braun, but we're keeping an eye on it. This could be an upset.
but it's Montana. It's a dark red state that Trump's going to win by a lot.
it makes sense for them to try to pull off an upset, but still much rather be frozen [Rosen].
So Donald Trump, he's almost certainly gonna carry Texas... there's really little question Trump's gonna carry Texas.
it's more complicated in Ohio because Donald Trump, he's going to carry the state again. This isn't a swing state anymore.
That's pretty much the one example that Tester has to point to... There's a lot of other races where it hasn't worked, so it's not impossible, but I think nobody should be expecting it.
I think I think they're gonna lose Michigan. ... I don't think they're carrying Michigan
Trump's gonna get, I think, three of the four electoral votes there because he'll win the state overall. So he gets two, and he's gonna win the other congressional district.
