US Senate Control Hangs in Balance: Key Races in Wisconsin and Michigan Heat Up | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

In less than 2 weeks, voters will elect a new president and decide control of the US House and Senate. In the Senate, Republican challengers are eager to flip several Democrat-held seats. With only a 51 to 59 majority, Democrats can't afford to lose any seats. We continue with our look at a number of states that will ultimately determine control of the US Senate, including Arizona, Nevada, Texas, Montana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Ohio - all close races. In Wisconsin, incumbent Democratic Senator Tammy Baldwin is facing a tough challenge from Republican Businessman Eric Hovde. Baldwin is running for her third term. In 2018, she was re-elected by a 10 point margin but that is certainly not the case today. She currently holds only a 1 point lead based on some 62 polls, 48 to 47. In the neighboring state of Michigan, with the retirement of Democratic Senator Debbie Stabenow, Republicans see it as an opportunity to pick up a seat, something they have not been able to do since 1972. Current Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin is in a fight against Republican challenger former Congressman Mike Rogers. That race has tightened up considerably, 48 to 44.
