Days away from a prime opportunity to retake the Senate majority, Republicans are staring down a reality where they could still squander their shot.
There’s angst heading into Election Day among Republicans, who are questioning how deep their bench will be — or if they’ll even have control.
“They should take it back. It’d be theirs to lose,” said GOP strategist Rick Tyler, who’s worked for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and former Republican House Speaker Newt Gingrich. “But I don’t think it’s in the bag for them.”
Republicans are heading into the 2024 election with an advantage of the map. Nearly all of the competitive seats are controlled by Democrats or independents who caucus with Democrats, giving the GOP the upper hand in the closing days of campaigning to flip the chamber.
“The last cycle, they were supposed to have done really well, and they didn’t,” Tyler said. “They came up very short and didn’t gain the majority.”
