Senate Democrats Face Tight Races in Key Battleground States as Election Nears | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

In the final weeks before the 2024 election, Senate Democrats are facing a number of Republican challengers to flip their seats. With the current Democrat majority 51 to 49, the party can't afford to lose any seats. A number of states will have the eyes of the nation on them. They include Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Montana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio, all close races that right now polls show could go either way. In Ohio, current Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown is taking on GOP newcomer Bernie Moreno. New polling has these 2 neck and neck, Moreno has a slight lead by 1 point at 47 to 46. This race ranks as one of the most expensive this election cycle with millions in outside money pouring in. In Pennsylvania, Republican Dave McCormick is working to unseat Democratic Senator Bob Casey, who's also been in the Senate since 2007. New polling shows McCormick with a slight lead. McCormick is a combat veteran and former chief executive of a major hedge fund. He opposes abortion except in the case of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother, and believes the issue should be left up to states. He says it's time for change. McCormick says, "For 18 years, Bob Casey has been warming a chair and drawing a paycheck. He is a do nothing, out of touch liberal career politician. And when he votes, he votes for Joe Biden's tired old ideas." Casey is seeking a 4th term in the upper chamber.
