Cook Political Report moves three Senate races in Democrats’ favor
Cook said Democrats now have up to six possible Senate pickups as tighter polls and economic concerns make Kansas more competitive.
- The nonpartisan Cook Political Report shifted three Senate race ratings in favor of Democrats on Tuesday, upgrading the outlook for the Republican-held chamber in November.
- These changes expand the Democratic Party's path to control the U.S. Senate, increasing potential seat pickups from two to six seats according to the nonpartisan handicapper.
- In Kansas, Democrat Adam Hamilton is challenging Republican incumbent Senator Roger Marshall, who has branded Hamilton a "radical Democrat" amid a statistically tight race.
- Democrats hope to capitalize on affordability concerns and President Donald Trump's dropping approval ratings as households flag issues like the economy and jobs.
- While recent polls show a dead heat in the Sunflower State, prediction market site Kalshi shows Marshall leading with 66 percent versus 34 percent for Hamilton.
