The 10 Senate seats most likely to flip in 2022

 (CNN)The midterm elections are still 18 months away, but the fight for control of the Senate is already shaping what gets done in the nation's capital this year.
In an evenly divided Senate, where Vice President Kamala Harris gives Democrats the tie-breaking vote, every vote matters. That's proven to be a crucial consideration for President Joe Biden as he tried to pass his Covid-19 relief plan and now his infrastructure and jobs proposals.
Looking ahead to next year, that means every Senate race matters. Republicans only need to flip one seat to take back the majority, while Democrats are eager to cushion their majority by picking off a few more seats currently held by GOP senators.

Democrats' best opportunity to do that is in Pennsylvania, which CNN ranks the seat most likely to flip partisan control for the third month in a row. The top 10 Senate seats most likely to flip are based on CNN's reporting and fundraising data, as well as historical data about how states and candidates have performed. As the cycle heats up, polling and advertising spending data will also become factors. Our ranking first published in March and was updated in April.

Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey, a Republican, is not running for reelection, which means it's up to the GOP to hold this seat without him. Biden carried the state by about 1 point last fall, making it a natural place for Democrats to try to flip a seat. Their next best chance to is in Wisconsin, another state Biden won that's currently held by a Republican, Sen. Ron Johnson, who may or may not be running for reelection.

Republicans' best opportunities to flip seats are in Georgia and Arizona -- two traditionally red states that Biden carried last year where recently elected Democratic senators, Raphael Warnock and Mark Kelly, are now running for full six-year terms.

But the universe of competitive seats remains relatively small. Of the 34 seats up for election next fall, only eight are considered "battlegrounds" by Inside Elections with Nathan L. Gonzales.

Not surprisingly CNN predicts a Rat blowout, destroying the evil GOP.

[Sled Dog]

They have to prepare the public in advance or nobody believes the results of the most massive vote fraud operation in history.

We really need to stop whining about this and start winning again. Blaming vote fraud for everything is not a winning strategy.

So you're fine with the cheating and we should not try to remedy the situation because that's "whining?"

That's a pretty clever strategy.

Did I say that?

[DefiantMassRINO]

The Dems vastly underappreciate their ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

[Cyber Liberty]

Did I say that?

That's what people hear whenever "Quit whining, get over it and move on" is said, yes.  I don't think I've heard one word of support from you about the Maricopa County audit.

The Rats have stiff competition from the RINOs on defeat-snatching.

All I need to consider is who in the political establishment is saying ‘quit whining about election fraud and move on’ and I know what the correct course is.

[Sled Dog]

We really need to stop pretending the Rodents haven't been stealing critical elections since JFK..

Why did we get saddled with the unconstitutional MessiahCare scam?

Oh.

That's right.

Al Groper Franken stole a Senate seat from the buffoons in Minnesota,  "finding" boxes of car-trunk ballots.

A Republican won that election, but the Rodents stole it and were thus able to "reconcile" an unconstitutional bill into law.

In 2000 the desperate efforts of the Rodents to steal the vote in Floriduh was transparent.  They even hung Chad to make the steal happen.   They failed.

No chance the Rodents did not steal the House in 2018.

The Rodents stole the White House right out in public vies, and Senile Joe even confessed to the conspiracy before the election.

But hey, you want everyone to shut up about the fraudulent elections because everyone knows that the best treatment for ass-cancer is to shut up and sit on it.  Of course, the people that do that always manage to be come bigger a-holes, but, we should just be quiet.

Right?

How do you fix problems if you refuse to talk about them?

[Sled Dog]

Did I say that?

Yes.

[Sled Dog]

The Rats have stiff competition from the RINOs on defeat-snatching.

The nation would be in a much better place if that were true.

I  have no problem with the audit, if they find something concrete, find the culprit and put them in prison. Otherwise it's just a conspiracy theory.

[Hoodat]

I would love to see any Republican candidate in Washington challenge Patty Murray to an IQ test.

I  have no problem with the audit, if they find something concrete, find the culprit and put them in prison. Otherwise it's just a conspiracy theory.

If the audit determines Trump won Arizona and the press denies it, what will you say then?  I'll bet you will still call it a Conspiracy Theory.

No I won't, but that would be unprecedented. I mean there are things like the 1960 election, but I don't think it was ever proven.

[Cyber Liberty]

No I won't, but that would be unprecedented. I mean there are things like the 1960 election, but I don't think it was ever proven.

In 2001 the press did a leisurely recount in Floriduh and found Bush really did win. I  think there is a good chance Trump will be proven correct here.  Please remember this is my home turf.

[IsailedawayfromFR]

Did I say that?

I heard it that way.

And CNN applauds your lack of curiosity.

[IsailedawayfromFR]

No I won't, but that would be unprecedented. I mean there are things like the 1960 election, but I don't think it was ever proven.

Unprecedented?  The slimiest Democrats in history get there by voting fraud.

It is a fact that LBJ won by just enough votes from dead people taken from cemetery tombstones in 1948 when he lost in the Senate election in Texas but magically had enough to carry him over the top.

Yeah, the world's only conspiracy theory in which the winner confessed freely and openly before the theft that he was engaged in the most massive vote fraud operation in history.

Yeah, some "conspiracy".    A strange one where the conspirators publicly announce their crimes while in the act of performing them.

[Sled Dog]

I would love to see any Republican candidate in Washington challenge Patty Murray to an IQ test.

She doesn't look anything like Kurt Russell.

As I am sure you recall, Kurt Russell was The Computer Who Wore Tennis Shoes, and that ditz Murray ran for the Senate in sneakers as her phony trademark.

[Smokin Joe]

They have to prepare the public in advance or nobody believes the results of the most massive vote fraud operation in history.

Exactly!

[Smokin Joe]

We really need to stop whining about this and start winning again. Blaming vote fraud for everything is not a winning strategy.

Blaming, no. Stopping vote fraud is a big step, though. In order to do that, it has to be exposed and prevented (and the perpetrators stripped of power, if not prosecuted).

Otherwise, vote fraud, especially on the scale of 2020 will carry the day, regardless of who gets how many votes.

We're up against Communists, their tools, and fellow travelers.

With that in mind:

It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.

C'mon, man!

If it isn't "Racism!", it has to be "conspiracy theory".
