Cook Political Report Shifts Three Senate Races Toward Republicans Amid Biden Approval Tanking

The Cook Political Report has shifted its prognostications in favor of Republicans for three hotly-contested Senate races, as early indications show Republicans in a strong position to retake both chambers of Congress.

The political predictor shifted its predictions for the Georgia, Arizona, and Nevada Senate races, from all three leaning in favor of Democrats to all three listed as toss-ups, still nearly a year away from the 2022 midterm elections. The three states “are all states that Biden carried by 2.5 points or less,” CPR said, via Axios. President Joe Biden won Georgia by a little less than 12,000 votes, Arizona by less than 11,000, and Nevada by around 34,000 votes in the 2020 presidential election. Arizona and Georgia were also the sites of several hotly-contested audits over the election results. The three races are the only three Senate races that fall into that category, according to CPR, “and if there is a sizable partisan swing we see come next November it’s easy to see how these races get swept away even if GOP candidate quality is subpar.”

Herschel Walker says he's 'accountable' for past behavior with ex-wife

Georgia Senate hopeful Herschel Walker said he holds himself "accountable" for his past behavior toward his ex-wife.

While Walker didn't admit to allegations of violent behavior toward his ex-wife, the former NFL star said that generally speaking, he is "accountable to whatever" he's done.

"I'm always accountable to whatever I've ever done," Walker told Axios Monday. "And that's what I tell people: I'm accountable to it."

In regards to allegations that he's previously engaged in violent behavior, Walker said that "people can't just make up and add on and say other things that's not the truth."

This comes in response to several women claiming Walker engaged in threatening and violent behavior. One woman alleged Walker threatened her and stalked her at her house, while another woman, Myka Dean, claimed Walker threatened to "blow her head off" and kill himself when she tried breaking up with him.

Walker's ex-wife Cindy Grossman has spoken out about past experiences with Walker, stating that at one point, "he just kind of raged and he got a gun and put it to my temple."

84 Percent of Warnock’s Large Donations Came From Outside of Georgia

The vast majority of Georgia Democratic senator Raphael Warnock's record-setting fundraising haul came from outside of Georgia, according to campaign finance records.

Warnock received 84 percent of his itemized individual donations from out-of-state supporters and 16 percent from Georgia residents in the final three months of 2021. Itemized donations refer to contributions of more than $200, for which campaigns are required to disclose the addresses of individual donors.

About 17 percent of the money came from donors in California, 10.6 percent from New York, 8.9 percent from the Washington, D.C., area, and 6.3 percent from Massachusetts, according to his year-end report filed with the Federal Election Commission last month.

The numbers indicate that Warnock's fundraising strength—a record $9.8 million for a Georgia Senate candidate in the last quarter—is largely fueled by out-of-state supporters, even as his campaign has credited his "fight for hardworking Georgia families" and "strong network of grassroots support" for the windfall in a statement in January.

Will be interesting is we see a campaign finance reform law in the future that bars out of state donations for congressional and senate races. You would have to reside in or own a business in that state to donate.

Mandel-Harper Ohio Senate debate goes off the rails in Cleveland

Debate descended into hour of chaos filled with insults between candidates, arguments with audience

An Ohio Senate debate between Republican candidate Josh Mandel and Democrat Morgan Harper devolved into name-calling and sparring with the audience Monday night, adding the latest explosive moment to the incendiary Ohio Senate race.

Among the insults, Mandel said Harper is "like AOC only dumber," referring to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. And Harper mocked Mandel for being on his third run for U.S. Senate, with unsuccessful efforts in 2012 and 2018.

Bloomberg latest to Warn San Francisco vote gives Democrats 'seismic' challenge: '7 to 8 on the Richter scale'

'Coming from America’s most liberal city, those results should translate into a 7 to 8 on the Richter scale'

Former New York City mayor and 2020 Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg is the latest to warn Democrats there may be impending danger for this year's midterms after last week's San Francisco school board recall election sent shock waves across the nation.

A Tuesday op-ed from the former mayor warned Democrats of the "seismic challenge" ahead, saying that the party is headed for doom unless it corrects its course.

"The political earthquake that just occurred in San Francisco should be a dire warning to the national Democratic Party, because the same fault line stretches across the country and the tremors are only increasing," Bloomberg wrote.

Grab an ice cream cone - two scoops - then start reading the comments. Democrats want no parts of the conversational debate.

Sen. Jim Inhofe expected to announce resignation: Reports

Sen. Jim Inhofe is expected to announce his plans to resign before the end of his term, according to multiple reports. A spokesperson for the Oklahoma Republican did not respond to a request for comment.

Inhofe, 87, was first elected to the Senate in 1994 and took office the same year. He is expected to announce Monday that he will step down at the end of this year, which would result in a special election for someone else to serve the final four years of his current term.

Democratic beer heiress bid stirs up already-raucous Missouri Senate race

An heir to the Anheuser-Busch beer fortune has filed to run as a Democrat for Missouri’s open Senate seat, raising the prospect the party could have a self-funding candidate against the eventual Republican primary winner from a currently crowded field.

Trudy Busch Valentine announced her candidacy for Senate on Tuesday, elevating the importance of the previously low-key Democratic primary. As a self-financed centrist with a share of the estimated $13 billion Busch family fortune, she could be a viable candidate in a state that leans Republican. But it could become more competitive if Republicans nominate scandal-plagued former Gov. Eric Greitens for Senate.

Nevada Senate Race: Trump-backed Laxalt Hauls in $1.6M in Three Months

Nevada is one of the GOP's top Senate targets in November's midterm elections to flip a blue seat red

FIRST ON FOX: Former Nevada Attorney General Adam Laxalt raised more than $1.6 million over the past three months for his Republican campaign to unseat Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto in the 2022 midterm elections.

Laxalt's January-March first quarter haul, which a source with knowledge of Laxalt's fundraising figures shared first with Fox News on Thursday, is the candidate’s largest to date since jumping into the race in mid-August. Laxalt brought in $1.4 million in the third quarter of last year, followed by a $1.35 million fourth quarter haul.

Republicans need a net gain of just one seat in November's midterms to recapture the Senate majority they lost a year ago when Democrats swept Georgia's twin Senate runoff elections. The GOP is playing plenty of defense — they're defending 20 of the 34 seats up for grabs in 2022, including defending five open seats, with two of them in the key battlegrounds of North Carolina and Pennsylvania. But they also see strong pickup potentials in the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, New Hampshire and Nevada, where Cortez Masto is running for a second six-year term in the Senate.

Resurfaced Video Shows Dr. Oz Praising Jussie Smollett After Hoax Attack

jussiesmollettdroz1-640x480.jpg


Resurfaced video of TV host-turned U.S. Senate candidate Dr. Mehmet Oz saying how much he “adores” and “loves” his friend, hate crime hoaxer Jussie Smollett is now going viral online after former President Donald Trump endorsed Oz in Pennsylvania’s U.S. Senate race.

“Jussie Smollett, who has been on the show, who we all adore, was recently injured. It’s been called a hate crime,” Dr. Oz said on his show.

Elsewhere, Dr. Oz referred to Smollett as “a good friend,” adding, “Jussie, if you’re watching this, the entire audience, all of us, are saying we love you very much, we wish you the best.”

Wellness Check on Raphael Warnock as More Gut Punches Hit Campaign

It’s no secret that Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) has been hit with a wave of bad news over the last couple of months that has rocked his campaign.

President Biden’s low approval ratings are dragging him down big time in a potential match up with likely Republican nominee Herschel Walker, who Warnock has trailed in all but one poll taken to date, including one from a Democrat polling firm.

In addition to that, Warnock is in the middle of a child custody dispute with his ex-wife Oulèye Ndoye, who is “accusing Warnock of neglect of his children and failure to pay for childcare, leaving her ‘financially strapped,'” according to a Free Beacon report. These things are never pleasant to go through, especially if you’re one of the parties involved in the dispute and you also happen to be a candidate for public office.

Establishment Sen. Lisa Murkowski Laments ‘I May Not Be Re-Elected’

Establishment Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) on Thursday admitted she may lose her primary bid to Donald Trump-endorsed candidate Kelly Tshibaka.

“I may not be re-elected,” Murkowski told the New York Times about the possible end of her 20-year Senate career.

“It may be that Alaskans say, ‘Nope, we want to go with an absolute, down-the-line, always, always, 100-percent, never-question, rubber-stamp Republican,’ she said about Tshibaka who is leading in the polls.
