The Senate race in Pennsylvania has been labeled a “toss-up” by The Cook Political Report on Oct. 21, with the race in Nebraska leaning towards the Republicans. Incumbent Sen. Bob Casey (D-Pa.) is facing a tough challenge from millionaire businessman and army veteran Dave McCormick in Pennsylvania, with both parties spending millions on ads for this race.
While public polling still shows Casey with a slight lead, internal polls indicate that the race is now too close to call. Pennsylvania has been a key state in recent elections, and the outcome of this race could have significant implications for both parties.
In Nebraska, incumbent Sen. Deb Fischer (R-Neb.) is facing a strong challenge from nonpartisan candidate and union leader Dan Osborn. Despite Nebraska being a traditionally red state, the race is still too close to call, with Osborn gaining momentum in recent weeks.
Meanwhile, the Wisconsin Senate race between Sen. Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) and businessman Eric Hovde has been moved to a “toss-up” by Cook, indicating a close contest in the state.
The GOP is looking to regain control of the Senate with favorable races in Montana and Ohio, along with potential pickup opportunities in states like Michigan, Arizona, and Nevada. The outcome of these races could have a significant impact on the balance of power in the Senate.
