McConnell admits Democrats may hold the Senate, and the data backs it up

With fewer than 100 days from the November midterm elections, Senate Democrats found a few signs of promise in a bleak political environment this week. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) even admitted that it was less likely the GOP would flip the Senate than the House. CNN's Harry Enten looks at the latest numbers.

  1. Oh look, OLD MITCH MCCONNELL burned down
    Grand Old Party,
    turning a lot of REPUBLICANS HOMELESS.

    Thank you KARMA!

    1. @Michael C your dollar is actually 0.90 , utilities and food prices are steadily increasing and gas prices dropping by ten cents isn’t helping the working class. If trump was the current president you would say we are in a recession.

    2. @Sam White Dont be a clown…You want to be realistic or pessimistic? If trump was in office you would say America is still great!!

    1. @dingus We’re pretty much exactly where we were before Trump. There are different problems in the world for sure but none of them can really be blamed on Biden. I mean, I don’t even really like the guy but he’s been doing fine.

    1. THAT’S WHAT SCREWED US LAST TIME WHEN WE ASSUMED THAT HILLARY HAD THE ELECTION ON LOCK & PEOPLE STAYED 🏡 HOME & DIDN’T EVEN BOTHER VOTING IN CERTAIN STATES & THEN THE NEXT THING WE KNEW WE WERE STUCK WITH TRUMP BASED ON 11,770 VOTES IN 3 STATES, DAMN IT MAN 😔

    2. @notfiveo Don’t worry prayer has been proven to work even in clinical medical trials. Whether it’s a deity or the power of the mind it still works.

  2. The statement “candidate quality” says out loud what everyone should know and probably does know. Vote according,

    1. Mitch is retiring, so he doesn’t need to worry about the next primary. I think the Ole turtle is sick of Trump. I can’t wait to see Trumps reaction to that statement.

    2. Dianne Feinstein is a quality candidate who has been able to put her own shoes on for 2 decades. People still vote for her.

  3. Dear USA. Everyone who is allowed to vote. VOTE. Don’t sit back & think there’s enough votes for seats to be decided as you want. If everyone voted, and the votes counted properly (without massive gerrymandering or voter deregistration interfering in the wish of the People), then the elections will hold firm under scrutiny. VOTE!

  4. “Candidate quality has a lot to do with the outcome” – That sounded like Mitch McConnell taking a swipe at Trump for supporting the likes of Oz and H Walker.

  5. Let the power of the vote be the last word … it’s not up to the old rich entitled white men , it’s up to us , we the people …

  6. Didn’t members of Congress (on both sides) use to be of at least “above average” intelligence and have a little common sense with a grasp on reality thrown in for good measure? At least it was a starting point before they started duking it out on policies. Now they ride in on a broom or a flying saucer for crying out loud!

    1. @Chris Albert Chris if you see Paul will you please take his car keys away from him and hide them? Please!!

    2. @F16 I wouldn’t call the Democratic party extreme. They have pretty normal solutions to pretty well understood problems, and while plenty of people might not like those solutions, the party that’s supposed to be providing alternatives is instead threatening to throw a violent manbaby tantrum if people don’t vote for them.

  7. Senate races by design are actually much different than the other races

    Tbh the map plays a big role

    Like in 18….the map for Republicans was very favorable (defending red state seats) despite a blue wave

    In 10 Dems held despite a huge r wave

    Unlike the house the Senate candidates must appeal to the entire state…thus moderate candidates would be more ideal as they have to win independents
