Cook Political Report shifts Kansas, South Carolina Senate races toward Democrats
Cook’s latest ratings put Kansas and South Carolina closer to competitive territory and give Sen. Jon Ossoff more room in Georgia, with Democrats gaining ground.
- The Cook Political Report reclassified Senate races in Georgia, Kansas, and South Carolina yesterday, shifting all three contests toward Democrats as Kansas moved from "Likely Republican" to "Lean Republican" and South Carolina shifted from "Solid Republican" to "Likely Republican."
- Last month, Cook shifted Senate and gubernatorial races in Texas and Iowa toward Democrats, part of broader momentum as six Republican-held Senate seats are now rated by Cook as "Toss Up" or better for Democrats.
- Newly sworn-in Sen. Darline Graham remains "the heavy favorite" in South Carolina despite the reclassification, defending a seat held by Republicans since 1964 and previously held by her late brother, Lindsey Graham.
- Georgia's seat held by Sen. Jon Ossoff strengthened for Democrats, moving from "Lean Democrat" to "Likely Democrat," while Kansas tightened to "Lean Republican," narrowing the GOP's traditional advantage.
- Democrats must net four seats in November to win Senate control, and with six Republican-held Senate seats now rated "Toss Up" or better by Cook, the path to that goal appears increasingly viable, particularly as the Washington Post reports the long-held South Carolina seat is now vulnerable.
